The old ones had a single hook. I was amazed as I stood there that day and caught bass after bass on this hunk of lead and rubber. I'm still amazed.

I proceeded to catch many, many more using H&H spinners in the creek where I lived. Loved that little double spinner, I need to go wade that little creek again with my sons and relive some of my childhood days
