DoubleT Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I've done some research but haven't came up with much. Are you guys aware of any company that sells trebles already t'd? I would like to find some from the 3/0 to 7/0 range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto, been fishing for almost 60 years and building lure for almost 50 and that term has me confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleT Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Some folks "T" their trebles and claim that it reduces hook rash. I personally have never done it but was curious as to if there was a treble available that comes that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglinarcher Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 OK, I did not know that modification had a name. I have done it but did not find it helped. Sorry, I do not know of any company that does that and I do not know of a single lure maker that does this to their lures. If a larger one does, then the hooks will be available to the rest of us soon after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobP Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 I troll un-teed wood cranks for stripers and yep, the hooks wear through to the wood through a thick coat of epoxy in a few sessions. I use high temper Japanese hooks so haven’t tried t-ing them lest they break. But it’s not a bad idea if your hooks will bend without breaking and you want to preserve the baits’ finish longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD_mudbug Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Owner has a hook that is close to a right angle T. The hook is the ST-35. It's a short shank and comes in sizes 1, 2, 4, and 6 so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleT Posted January 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Thanks. Im thinking of t'ing some but thought if I could buy them I would go that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglinarcher Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 You might need to use a softer hook, but it sound worth trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gliders Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 I've also used the small loom bands kids play with to hold belly hook in place till taken by pike.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleT Posted January 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 I saw where the Decoys only go to 1/0. I will t the mustads that I have been using. Not hard to do. Just concerns me a little as to how it affects the strength on the hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
