Singles. Decoy seargent jigging singles, 1/0.
Sometimes for a bit of variety I use doubles that I got off a bloke in Geelong, they're pretty good, but I like singles.

Wait until you've got a big school of sambo's in front of you, and a sambo inhales all three points of the treble...then you'll know why singles are good.

^ This. I still run trebles but that's mostly because i'm lazy.

I play around with combos, but generally use trebles, occasionally if I feel like it will add an assist hook at the front of the lure.

Where do you guys buy your singles from? Looking around for decoys in the shops, but can't find any and don't wanna pay postage for a pack of hooks.
