I did this religiously when I first started, mostly because I was worried about the shiny paint on all my new lures (heh.) Soon discovered that fish are going to wreck those pretty paint jobs, and if they don't the lure is no good to begin with.

After a few straightened hooks and lost fish I started to wonder if bending them like that was a bad idea. These days I only do it on lures (wood) where the hooks are likely to swing up and stick in the lure, but I'm wondering if it would help on lures that don't hook well.

What say you?

was doing it years ago when lot's were doing it.after few years i start to noticed a lower hookup ratio .so even if they get destroyed really quick like wiley or if they cost a lot like a pelagic ,all my trebles are now normal .imo it's just physic if you put 3 points too close to each others then it start to do like a fakir carpet loaded of nails.of course i exaggerate,but you see the point.at the end i think it was more to save lures from hook rash than something for a better hookup ratio
