What are you guys useing when you replace your treble hook on your crank baits?I see a lot of people like the KVD Triple grips. How about for round bend. VMC 4X Strong sparks,Owner st36,Lucky Crafts are a few I'm considering.

I LIKE gamakatsu and owner round bends, good for hooking "slappers". I LOVE lucky craft hooks they are far and away the sharpest treble hooks I have come across.

It depends on the crank baits, but generally speaking, it's tough to beat the Owner ST-36.

I use both Owner and Gamakatsu as well. I have noticed that the Owners don't hold up in saltwater very well and will rust up pretty quickly.

I like VMC hooks personally and replace all my crankbait hooks with VMC hooks. I also have used the VMC barbarian hooks and big fan of those.

Both VMC's and Gammies are good, but if you don't mind spending a bit more, Owner's trump the other two IMHO.
