[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 459940, member: 13702"] I suppose trebles lend themselves to not hooking as deeply - with three hook points you're more likely to catch flesh at an odd angle (and get a shallower hookset) than you are with a single hook. As I think I mentioned, for me it did help switching out the original trebles on my lures for larger sized short-shank trebles to get more bite. I try to use lightwire trebles too, I think when the fish are hooking themselves you're better off with a lighter hook. Plus you're more likely to recover a lure by bending out a hook when you snag that way. Easy enough to replace a split ring & hook for next to nothing, but the lure bodies can get expensive fast.
