Round bend or EWG trebles as factory replacements on cranks?

Featured Replies

When you guys replace stock or dull trebles on your crankbaits, do you replace them with round bend or EWG trebles?   Also, why do you choose that style over the other?

I always use Owner trebles as my replacements. (if they make the right size)  They are so sharp that even when I'm careful, I bleed all over the table when i replace hooks...  They are very strong and they remain sharp for a long time.  Not to mention, I've had extremely few fish ever come unbuttoned on Owner hooks.

On crankbaits, I like the EWG.

On topwaters and jerkbaits, I like round bend.  IMO, baits that bass have a tendancy to slash at, like topwaters and jerkbaits, get better hookups with round bend hooks as they stick out more.

I use the Owner Stinger Trebles. If I purchase a lure that has the "triple grip" or EWG hooks, I replace them and throw them away.
