CTGalloway21 reply :
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.
Alonerankin2 reply :
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.

War Eagle 44 reply :
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.

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.
warpath58 reply :
Owner and the Decoy X-S21. They are expensive but worth every penny.
SirSnookalot reply :
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.

smalljaw67 reply :
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.
CTGalloway21 reply :
Anyone gonna try out the new Gamy Nano Finesse trebles by Martens?
J Francho reply :
They pretty much seem like their version of the ST-36.
