siwash gami hooks to replace trebles

I am considering replacing some of my favorite lures having multi treble hooks and trying (single) siwash gam hooks on my stickbaits and maybe even some spoons.  Trebles are a surer hook set but can really be nasty when the poor fish has all the trebles hooked in the mouth/eye face etc., I do not like trebles for this reason alone, especially for catch and release fishing.

    Tuna,I will try them too.. the siwash was mentioned in another forum that is why i mentioned it. No doubt the more points the greater the hooking, the thing using rapalas for trout is two three point trebles can really hurt fish intended for release. I recall times where I had to remove four hooks from trout. I  must try those you mentioned maybe step up a size for replacement.Tonight was lnot tutorials on youtube..  trying the varying albright for  braids to mono.. snelling hooks making rigs dropper loop and perfection loop for upcoming blackfishing.  hope all is well up by you folks, thanks for the advice
