what hooks do you use when replacing your factory hooks of crankbaits?

Owner or VMC round bends
Personally I am not a fan of the triple grip style hook since the points are slightly turned in. I think you will miss fish that slap at the bait.

And for the other opinion, I use the triple grips and just rarely ever lose a fish on a CB. I may not hook up with one that slaps at it......or that may have been grass/tree/trotline/debris...but I feel confident when I hook up that it is coming in the boat.

I like the Mustad KVD triple or Gamakatsu EWG. It depends if I was a short or regular shank.

I prefer round bends short shank hooks. Very seldom have a heard anyone landing a big fish on triple grip hooks. It happens, but for me, I have lost 3 7-8 lbers, so I do not trust them. This generation is much better than the old ones on the Bandit CBs,but I prefer VMC or Mustad or Owner or Gammy short shank round bend hooks.
Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

Thad Rains I've caught several 5-7 lb fish with tripplegrips. I actually caught a 6.92 on a kvd 1.0 with short shank tripplegrips. I rarely lose fish on a crank I have a squarebill rigged up all year sometimes two just in a differnt size.
