In-line treble hooks

Featured Replies

Is there any advantage to inline treble hooks over conventional style treble hooks on crankbaits assuming the hooks are both of good quality?

Honestly I am not sure but the concept is a good one.  I have cut off one of the hooks on my trebles on crankbaits to do exactly what the inline ones are designed to do.  I don't conventional fish enough to warrant changing hooks out but the thought has crossed my mind because when I do fish conventional gear, i like chucking crankbaits.

I use some #3 and 4 Mepps Aglias. I've clipped off one hook on some of the trebles to make them snag less.               I don't think there's any advantage or disadvantage in the treble hooks on these in lines or other treble hooks baits. If they're sharp - they're good to go.

This concept is confusing to me - is the idea that the bait sits perfectly between two of the barbs? Cause most of the time that's just a matter of what side the split ring enters the hook eye from. At least with the owner stx38 and bkk ewg trebles, that is

I think it's an advantage.  Since the eye is centered with the split ring the hook wants to stay tucked without favoring a side.  At the very least I feel like the inline eye reduces some contact, which keeps them sharp a little longer. I wouldn't recommend swapping all of the standard eye trebles out for inlines.
