Surfin the net today, doing even more shopping and remebered I need to stock up on trebles, feel a good hook cutting year coming on (yeah right), and need to replace and beef up many lures I have now. Rollies has 4 choices to choose from, High Carbon Standard, High Carbon Cone Cut,Musky/Pike, and Round bend. I'm sure all these will fit in differant situations, but what is the best all around treble to use. I am thinking cone cut, but wanted other opinions, thx much.
p.s. Once I choose the style I will be getting several sizes, prob 2/0,3/0,4/0,5/0. Is this a good enough assortment, should I get even bigger ones? Thx again

Greg, I will respond the first time. I like the round bend. To me they seem to have a wider gap per hook size. You have to sharpen all of them anyway, so cone angles and cuts are out the window.

Greg,

If you like the "sharp out of the box" hooks, get the cone cut trebles. I don't know which model numbers they carry. I usually use the 7650's. They are 3X strong cone cut. I think the 4X cone cuts are #7226. They are both good hooks and sticky sharp.

9650BZ VMC round bend x heavy duty (2/0, 4/0, 5/0) Use them on my personal lures and the one I sell, no complaints from either party.

Greg,

I like your assortment. I would go with the round bends - heavy duty.
