Treble Hooks

Has anyone tried the Sure Set hooks an if so how due they work..I see that they are coming on the Krocodile spoons...look cool...but looks dont mean everything

Gave them a try last year, on flies, they did not get as many hits as a treble hook, must be changing the action enough to turn off the fish. I like the design for better hook sets, because a treble would get the line caught behind the hooks and pull out. cured that with a drop of epoxy on the hook. Single hooks stay hooked up when they penitrate, but we get alot of short hits without hooking up then. Tried circle hooks with the same results, the fish stay on but the trebles must fluff up the fly without throwing it out of balance to get more hits. Still working on this subject.

I tried a set on some Hot n Tots in the river last year they snaged a lot of leaves and trash but no more fish can't say I was impressed. They don't look very strong to me I will stick to Owners and big 2x strong singles in either 2/0 or 4/0.
