Is it worth while changing treble hooks

to the BasStar Spintech Rotating Treble Hooks?  Do they perform as well as advertised?  Are they quality hooks?  Thanks.

Disclaimer:  I don't own any of the hooks but have experienced them in several situations, including fishing them several times on a friends baits.

That said, I wouldn't waste my money on them.  I felt like I lost more fish, and missed more on the bite than with Mustads.  I also didn't see any genuine gain from the hook.

FWIW...

Never lost a fish on my lipless cranks last year! & I never changed a hook.

Depends on if you want to catch fish or just get them close to the boat

Gamakatsu Magic Eye Short Shanks and the right action rod have done wonders for me with treble equipped lures. I landed a 10lb. 1oz. and a 9lb. 11oz. Largemouth last year that I seriously doubt I would have landed without those hooks and rod

The "Magic Eye" part is nothing special but I like the short shanks because I can go up a hook size most of the time. Especially, on lures like Lucky Craft Fat CB BDS 0's and 1's and Fat Mini SR's MR's DR's. They come with a size 5 and I can go up to a size 4. Alot of brands I go up from 6's to 4's with no negative effects.

Mustad makes a KVD Elite Series Triple Grip with short shanks and wider gaps. I have them on some lures but have yet to really test them. They did fine with dinks but haven't hauled in anything really heavy with them yet.

The right hooks are a game changer but the right rod is far more important to me.

Good luck!

KVD says it's worth while so you should definitely do it!  IMO it isn't necessary on allot of baits but on a select few I feel the treble hooks are undersized ie. I swap them out  Daiwa game vibes.

Thanks for the advice guys. I've always used whatever hooks came on the lure. Never gave it a second thought. However, constant online reading has lead me to question that habit. Guess I will go through my lures and take a good look at what each is equipped with.

I did change out one of my older lures with Owner trebles because they had gotten rusty. That idea of going to a larger size is interesting. Thanks.

Have always switched my baits to wither owner stingers or Kvd triple grips...trust me it is worth it. Back when I didn't want to spend the extra money I would lose waaayy too many fish. The instant I changed my trebles, is when I started realizing how important it is.

I agree 100%. There is a couple of brands that have good hooks but there is a 100 that don't. It's not all about being sharp, it's a must, but it doesn't matter how sharp the hook is if it flexs too much or straightens out.
