What Brand Trebles Do You Use?

Featured Replies

I have used pretty much all of them and have finally settled on Owner.  Just curious what the consensus is.

Owner, I am impressed with the triple grips.

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.

Owner.

I have had what can best be described as a very high rate of success with Mustad.

Mustad's KVD 1x strong 2x Short Triple Grips, VMCs, and Gammy's.

Owner ST-36, ST-41, VMC Vanadium Inlines.

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.

Mustad KVD's. The 1x strong, 2x short, triple grips. I use them on everything.

Owner and the Decoy X-S21. They are expensive but worth every penny.

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.
