CTGalloway21 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I have used pretty much all of them and have finally settled on Owner. Just curious what the consensus is. Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted October 30, 2014 Super User Posted October 30, 2014 Owner, I am impressed with the triple grips. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted October 30, 2014 Super User Posted October 30, 2014 Owner, and a bit older mustad Triple grips. I bought some new pkg. triples @ Wally market this past spring, they were not the same elite treble I was use to. Standard point that was quite dull. Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted October 30, 2014 Super User Posted October 30, 2014 I use Owner, Mustad and Gammy. Different hooks for different baits. Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted October 30, 2014 Super User Posted October 30, 2014 I like owners the best. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 30, 2014 Global Moderator Posted October 30, 2014 Owners and Gamakatsu. Quote
Super User Montanaro Posted October 30, 2014 Super User Posted October 30, 2014 Mustad ewg are okay. Trying out owner and gamakatsu now. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted October 30, 2014 Super User Posted October 30, 2014 I have had what can best be described as a very high rate of success with Mustad. A-Jay Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted October 30, 2014 Super User Posted October 30, 2014 Mustad's KVD 1x strong 2x Short Triple Grips, VMCs, and Gammy's. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted October 30, 2014 Super User Posted October 30, 2014 Owner ST-36, ST-41, VMC Vanadium Inlines. Quote
War Eagle 44 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 If I was forced to only use a single brand it would be Owner hands down. Having said that I've also really enjoyed a lot of success with the Mustad KVD triple grips but as another poster already pointed out Mustad made the decision to cheapen this line of hooks by no longer using their "Micro Point". I'm done with these hooks until such time as they see fit to correct this mistake and go back to their original design. I've started looking for a SS EWG treble to replace the KVD hook's with and started to use the Gamakatsu SS EWG. It's a very good quality hook out of the package but for some reason it doesn't seem to hold or keep fish hooked nearly as well as the Mustad hook. Just by simply looking at them side by side you can easily tell the Gammy has a more open point angle, I'm not at all saying this is the reason behing my lost fish I'm simply stating that it may play a part. I was also very happy to see Owner's introduction of their latest treble at this years ICAST show, a SS ST-36! These will more than likely fill the gap left by the Mustad in my tackle box therefore I'll be down to a single hook maker for all my trebles. 1 Quote

bass raider Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 gamakatsu or VMC.if i'm NOT around cover i'll put a vmc sure set on the back of any hardbait i'm using. Quote
warpath58 Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Owner and the Decoy X-S21. They are expensive but worth every penny. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted October 31, 2014 Super User Posted October 31, 2014 As long as it's a 3x hook I'm not too fussy, Eagle Claws work just fine for me. I do use 4x VMC for some other species. Not unusual to replace my spoon trebles with a single hook. Quote
