I lost a big fish trolling this weekend on a 7" Grandma, she straighten two 2 barbs on one treble and busted one off on a second. What trebles should I use as replacements? Are the factory hooks on Grandma's too light for trolling?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

I also would try loosening the drag....I am almost positive those are at least 2x hooks.....You must have had WAY too much pressure on that fish.
