Double Hooks

Double Hooks for Lures and Specialty Fishing

Double hooks are a versatile alternative to treble hooks, offering excellent hook-up performance while reducing snagging and making fish handling easier. Commonly used on surface lures, frogs, spoons, spinnerbaits and selected hardbody lures, double hooks are also popular for anglers targeting species where improved lure action or easier catch-and-release is a priority. They're suitable for freshwater and saltwater fishing, from bass, cod and barramundi through to tailor, salmon, trevally and other aggressive predators.

At Anglers Warehouse you'll find quality double hooks from trusted brands including BKK, Owner, Decoy and more. Available in a range of sizes and heavy-duty designs, these hooks are ideal for upgrading factory-fitted hardware, replacing damaged hooks or customising your favourite lures. Built with razor-sharp points and high-strength wire, premium double hooks deliver dependable performance when targeting hard-fighting Australian fish.

How To Choose Double Hooks

Choose a double hook that closely matches the size and weight of your existing hook to maintain your lure's balance and swimming action. Fine-wire models suit smaller freshwater and estuary lures, while heavier-gauge hooks are better suited to large hardbodies, stickbaits and surface lures used for powerful saltwater species. Always pair replacement hooks with quality split rings for maximum reliability.
