just wondering on your thoughts on hooks ive had so many fish get off lures that have multiple treble hooks lately i dont know if its because they arent sharp or just to much hook in the way or what. maybe its just me pulling to hard or not enough...maybe just my luck with the % of fish that are always just going to get away :)p

i seem to catch fish with one hook why cant i when there are 6 or 9 sharp points  lol

There are a lot of lures out there that I wouldn't give you two cents for the hooks that come with them.  When I troll, I noticed I was loosing fish, than when I got home I took a magnifing glass and got a close look at hooks.  The barbs on the hooks were bent in causing the fish to come off.  Now after every fish hooked I check and make sure that the barb is out away from the shank of the hook.  My landing to loosing fish ratio went way up. 
 
Let's face it , when the fish are biting, we catch one, put it in the box and cast right back out with checking the hooks.  Every year before I start trolling I replace all the hooks on the lures I used the year before.  If I use a lure quite often I will replace the hooks a couple of times during the season.

It very well could be dull hooks, but there is also something else that most people dont think about and that is the large piece of plastic (lure body) that those hooks are attached to. The lure body can act as a lever and put way more pressure on the hook if the fish is thrashing about.

Have you sharpen every hook point? I use to loose alot of fish, until i took a file to every point.

IMO you cant set the hook to hard when musky fishing.

Trebles vs single hooks as it might apply to muskie plugs, personal preference is to use doubles for belly hooks rather than trebles. Doubles, VMC or Mustad, size 3/0 or 4/0 on smaller 5 to 7" lures. Doubles hook fish well, eliminate hook wear on plug bellies, eliminate the need for split rings and often improve lure tracking. Of course hooks should always be sharp and touched up with a file as needed. A few muskie trolling plugs I like where doubles work really well: Lokes, Ziggies, Super Shad Raps, J-13 Rapalas, Baker Shads and other deep diving 5" shad style baits.

i have noticed that when i use rebel craws, the fish almost always hit that front trouble hook and it causes a helluva time trying to get it out of their mouths. I dont notice that issue with other lures though.

I replace all my bomber with lazer sharp hooks

I pull crankbaits all summer for crappie and at first I lost along of my hook ups, changed all the trebs to singles and rarely loose a fish....just a thought

Something I've found out and I never realized until this summer is that the weed growth (mil foil) could be the reason why you're losing them. The fish get tangled up in all that  crap causing the fish to break free. It happened to me many times.

Luck vs. Bad Luck

The fish, IMO, does 99.9% of the work in the final determination of whether its going to the net or not. And its all in the way it strikes your offering. All we can do as anglers is to make sure we are using quality hooks/gear and keeping them sharp and working smoothly. Beyond that, its up to the fish....it doesn't matter how much anyone wrenches on hook sets. Sometimes wrenching hook sets can be a bad thing and cause for losing a barely hooked fish...I believe in keeping good pressure with little to no slack line during a fight with any fish. That said, I'd prefer a treble over any single or double hook anyday, especially while muskie fishing. The more hooks and barbs, the better your odds of landing that fish. Bottom Line for me.

But hey, I don't know what the Hell I'm talking about half the time
