Yeah I do - I use decoy hooks. Personally I have found no difference with hook-up rates, but I find it doesn't get caught up on the line like it can with trebles. Also makes em easier to un-hook.

Gamakatsu make a single eye lure hook, the difference i find is because of the design which makes the hook sit up right, you barley pick up weed or snags. I will fish a treble over a single hook anyday but places like the blackwood and deep down the canning i prefer single hooks because of the snag factor.

i do replace trebles with single hooks, it helps
avoid snags and i find the hookup rate same,
just easier to unhook the fish , worst is trebles
and the fish swallows the whole thing , thats
why i go single hooks. when doing that i get
a electronic weight scale and match up the treble
and the single hook so it wont affect the lure,
dont just go for bigger hooks to get the same weight
u can find heavier quality hooks.
