Hey guys, so I’ve recently ordered a megabass karashi and I’m so excited to give it a try, but I’m not the biggest fan of treble hooks. I seem to stab my clothes and myself more than I do fish. So I can’t help but wonder if anyone has any single inline hook and size recommendations that won’t impede the action of the karashi. 
thanks in advance

I've been wondering the same. You'd need a size #6. As far as I know, only Owner Single Replacement series has a readily available #6.

I'd like to try some of these at some point though I'd prefer to find the single hook w/ flash...

I should have some vmc 7237 in a size #6 I’ll have to give those a shot.  Everyone  I’ve asked so far prefer using stock trebles for the action, hopefully it doesn’t change to much with singles.

Yea, it's pretty fussy to changes.

Bait Finesse Empire should have what you need. https://baitfinesseempire.com/product-category/terminal-tackle/lure-hooks/

A #6 in-line will be too small. Take a look at this conversion chart

Karashi has #10 trebles....and by the chart you provided, it's still #6 inline...

My mistake. I thought the trebles were #6. Sorry

No worries! 

 

Those #10 trebles feel like the most dangerous hooks ever. So small that should you hook yourself I bet all 3 sides will get you! 

I think I’ve come to accept that the karashi is just a treble only bait. It’s such a finely tuned bait that it’ll only throw the balance off.
