My buddy runs these on all of his treble hook baits and strongly recommended I give them a try. Let's just say I'm glad I listened. These treble hooks are the real deal. I was throwing them on a Super Spook when a massive 20.5" smallmouth absolutely crushed my bait. Despite several wild jumps and violent head shakes, these hooks kept the fish pinned the entire fight. They also held up extremely well on straight braid with a locked-down drag. I'll be replacing all of my stock trebles with these from now on. They're a little expensive, but they're absolutely worth the investment. The last thing you want is to lose the fish of a lifetime because of cheap hooks.
