Best treble hook to put on your crank baits?

Just getting into crank bait fishing and I used to change the back hook but forgot what I was using.
Anyone have a favorite?

Great reviews

Gamakatsu or Mustad usually, I usually go the next size up on the back and 95% of the time it will be red in color. Especially when fishing a CB in shad type colors.
But I see trokar has a line of treble hooks as well, I may look into those since those are my hook of choice for my soft plastics.

I don't like wide gap hooks...I like round bend hooks 3/0(Gamakatsu) very good hooksets.
I use that on 90% of all plastics.
Only use 2/0 when the 3/0 is too big.

I get more for less.
I spent $300 on fishing stuff last week and I really didn't need anything

It's the same Mustad hooks. They just come in a little box with 25 instead of 11.

I put mustad triple grips. I remember reading good reviews on them. Never looked into it much though

Yes I really like them. They are very sharp and don't require a hard hook set to get really good penetration which I like when c-rigging or fishing soft plastics in deep water where sometimes its hard to get a solid hook set due to the amount of line you have out

I use 3/0 ewg offset shank gammies for worms. A thin wire hook makes a difference IMO.
Trokar costs too much for how many I go through and I remember them having problems with tips breaking when they first came out. I think they fixed it by now but I'm not gonna chance it when gammies work just fine and are cheaper

Now I'm hooked...no pun intended

I used the gammies for years, but they started rusting on me really quickly. Not sure why. So I switch and haven't had a problem.
To each his own. Gammy makes a good hook if they don't rust.

Thin wire has to much flex for my taste.

I fish a lot so I usually lose the hook or just change it.

I bass fish a good bit and have never changed the treble hooks on my crankbaits. I'd like to, but there is always something else more pressing.
Posted on 6/1/12 at 11:35 am to Slickback
I only change them when I lose one, or have one broke to just 1 hook.
