Location: KY | The link below shows an Owner treble hook that would allow you to "T" two of the three hooks while the eye of the hook stand straight out from the body of the lure.

Location: Cudahy, WI | They wrote me when I inquired a month or so ago saying that it was not going to happen because of cost/ re-machining....etc.
I like the looks of the Owner as long as you can bend the other 2, the one in line with the eye is the most important one.
They thought it was a great idea, but monetarily impractical.
I'll keep on T'ing my own.

Location: Holly, MI | Bummer that it is not looking good yet. Is it time to go across the pond for them?
Here is somthing you might want to try:
My fishing partner bought a Musky trolling lure from a small bait shop on Lake St Clair (in Canada)that was locally made. The hooks were not only T-d but there was a small piece of plastic tubing (like aquarium airhose) slid on the shank of the hook before it was split ringed on the lure. This lure did not get the hook wearing problems and paint loss (or wood loss)that the other lures we were trolling did. If you troll for a long time you can ruin a lure pretty quick. The hooks will even go all the way through a plastic lure if you let them.
So this little piece of tubing was holding the hook off the body of the lure! Nifty. Anyone else ever see this done? Try it, you might like it. Besides winter is comming , you need some tinkering projects with your Musky gear anyway. How many times can you clean that reel? |

| Hi Gang,
Maybe they could call them "Beaver's Musky Trebles".
Sounds like they better package them by the dozen...
Bigger is better, I'd use 6es or even 7s on jerk baits.
Good luck,|
