What Brand Trebles Do You Use?

[smalljaw67]

Mustad KVD Triple Grips, Owner, VMC, and believe it or not, the Eagle Claw Laser Sharp 2X trebles, the number is 374T. The KVD triple grips hold like no other and are very strong and that is why I like those and I use them on baits that I upsize my hooks. I like the VMC Barbarian outbarbs on my Megabass Vision 110 baits, they are very close to the Katsuage (made by VMC) hooks that come with the 110 but they sport a slightly heavier wire diameter without adding too much weight so they don't affect the action. I like the Owner ST-41, the ST-36 is good but I feel that other hooks are just as strong so the only Owner I like to use is the 41 and I only use it on a 5" Bagley Bang-O-Lure because the added weight doesn't affect the action and that bait draws violent strikes so the hooks need to be stout. The Eagle Claw 374T 2X strong trebles are what I take on the water with me, they are used to replace hooks that are bent and here is the thing, these are bronze so they only last a season but when I'm on big smallmouth that are breaking and bending treble hooks, I will replace them with these Laser Sharp hooks. The hooks have a slightly curved point, they are seriously sharp and they are also strong, I have 3 or 4 KVD 1.5s right now that have them on as I was on a fantastic crankbait bite fishing smallmouth earlier in the week, 50+ smallies and the smallest was 16.5" and the rest were 3lb to 5lbs, a strange thing that happens for a very short time and I was lucky enough to hit it this season. Anyway, some may say that those hooks aren't any good but I have turned a few good anglers including 2 guides on to these hooks as temporary replacements until end of season. They don't break or bend easily and I don't lose fish that are hooked on them, something I found by accident over the years. I feel I need to explain why I use certain hooks, it is easy to say I like these hooks and be done with it but I have tried every hook on the market and this is what I've come up with that fits my fishing and my wallet, and I will try new ones like the Trokars, those are really good but feel I get good results to the point I don't need to spend that much.

Anyone gonna try out the new Gamy Nano Finesse trebles by Martens?

They pretty much seem like their version of the ST-36.
