Treble hooks are used on certain catfish rigs and artificial lures where three hook points are required. Heavy-duty catfish use calls for strong wire, sharp points and a dependable eye.
Match the treble to bait or lure size and expected load. An oversized hook can impair presentation, while an undersized hook may not provide enough strength.
When upgrading an original treble, consider hook weight as well as strength. A much heavier hook can alter the lure's balance and action.
