swmofisher Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 I've looked around and can't find a 2X treble with a wide gap and maybe short shank. I buy floating jerkbaits, put a size bigger hooks on and stronger hooks and I've ran out. If anyone has suggestions please let me know! Quote

Every major retailer has them in stock. Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted September 29, 2013 Super User Posted September 29, 2013 The Mustad KVD's are all that I use. Every major retailer has them in stock. Gamakatsu makes one too. As far as I know, these are the only 2 short shank, wide gap, 2X trebles on the market. Owner makes some nice 2X trebles in a regular round bend. Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted September 29, 2013 Super User Posted September 29, 2013 VMC makes the 2x short shank out barbs but they are like a unicorn in the States. They may have cut production on them, but I had a few. I lost my last lipless yesterday with them on it. Quote

Craiger12 Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 I would go with the Owners for a 2x treble. May not be exactly what you're looking for, but they are top quality if you don't mind the price. Quote
War Eagle 44 Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 I agree that Owner makes fantastic trebles but as was already mentioned they aren't EWG. I recently picked up a pack of Gamakatsu EWG short shank magic eye 2X trebles and they are very very nice. I would highly recommend at least taking a look at these before making your final choice. Mustad's KVD trebles are good as well, I just think the Gamakatsu's might be a slightly better hook. Quote
Primus Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 I like both the KVD & Gamakatsu hooks, both are sharp with Gama slightly sharper until you catch a few fish. The KVD stays sharp longer than any other hook that I've used while the Gama hooks you need to touch up or replace more often in my opinion. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted October 1, 2013 Super User Posted October 1, 2013 I replace only with 3x trebles for freshwater and 4x VMC perma for saltwater Quote
