What's your go to treble hooks for replacing the stock trebles that come on your crank baits? I've been using Mustad KVD triple grips for years. Had a brand new one break on a nice bass this past weekend. Probably an isolated incident, but made me think that I should at least "test the waters" for something different.

Those mustards are good. I like gamakatsu ewg trebles. Depending on the type of crank, I’ll put a short shank on front

Round bend up front, triple grips on the rear

Owner STX 45/ST 35

Triple grips all the way

Owner then Gamakatsu

I vote for Owners too. Take a pair of needle nose pliers and flex the wire on a variety of hooks. The Owner hooks are the stiffest wire for the diameter out of all of them, worm hooks included.

Yep

I prefer Owners but I have a big box of replacement trebles with Gamakatsu, Mustad and owner. Most all of them are Better than stock/dull hooks but I prefer Owner overall.

I prefer the Mustad 2x to 4x depending on the size of bait, or on Crankbaits I use the round bend. They don't seem to break as easy as the KVD but will bend if snagged on a log. I just use heavy line so a gentle tug on them will bend them free. I try to only ben them back one time and replace just because I feel it weakens them. They're a little shorter allowing me to add a bigger hook.

Gamakatsu and Owner are my choices.

Wow no one mentioned anything about Trokar hooks. According to them they are they have the sharpest hooks in the industry.

Trokar hooks are sharp; but with moving baits, they can cut, tear, and rip more than others instead of a deep, piercing puncture.

I do like their finesse hooks, especially their Neko, drop shot, and wacky rig style hooks.
