cutting front treble hook on a crankbait to make it more weedless i seen it in a fishing book

You don't need to cut it off, just take off the split ring and treble.

I think he is talking about cutting just the hook that is pointing forward. It leaves a double hook with both hooks facing against the lure.

Another option is to replace the treble with a double.

Neither of which really help me all that much. It's the rear hook that always gets me hung.
