Top 8 Treble Hooks in Canada for 2025 | Best Treble Hooks for Bass, Trout, Salmon and Pike

VMC's 9650 Round Bend trebles use a classic round-bend profile and durable finish that make them versatile across many crankbait sizes while resisting bending under pressure. They stand out on this list as the most economical, universally compatible choice for bulk hook changes, offering dependable strength without the specialty features (EWG gap, ultra-fine points) of the higher-priced competitors.

The Owner ST-36 Super Needle Point trebles are prized for extremely sharp, chemically honed points that maximize penetration on brief topwater strikes, giving them one of the best bite-to-hookup ratios among these options. Their finer wire enhances lure action and quick penetration compared with the very strong VMC 2X, though they sacrifice some ultimate bending strength, making them ideal when penetration and minimal impact to lure action are priorities.

Gamakatsu Round Bend treble hooks combine high‑quality heat treatment and precise manufacturing to offer a balanced blend of strength and sharpness ideal for spoons and spinners. Positioned between value and premium segments, Gamakatsu competes directly with Mustad on technical performance while often offering a middle ground on price, making it a go‑to for anglers who want near‑top performance without the absolute top‑tier cost.

Owner's ST-36 Super Needle Point assembly is a market leader for sheer penetration and sharpness, leveraging the company's renowned needle-point technology to maximize hookups in Treble Hook and Split Ring Assemblies. Technically it is often considered the best choice when hookup speed and minimal tissue displacement matter, outperforming VMC, Mustad and Eagle Claw on initial bite penetration, though it typically carries a higher unit cost. Compared to Gamakatsu, Owner emphasizes point geometry and tip retention, making it a go-to for anglers willing to pay more for top-tier performance.

The Mustad KVD Elite Triple Grip Kit leverages Kevin VanDam–backed design refinements for aggressive hooksets and improved holding power, which is why it's a market leader for bass-focused lure repair and tournament anglers. It sits above VMC and Eagle Claw on hook gap and barb geometry for better hookups, while often commanding a premium price over VMC but matching Gamakatsu and Owner on material quality.

Eagle Claw's 376SS medium wire stainless trebles are the market-value option, offering rugged durability and widespread availability at a lower price point than premium Japanese models. They provide solid corrosion resistance and strength for general use, but feature less refined point geometry than Gamakatsu or Owner products, making them better suited for anglers focused on affordability and bulk replacement rather than maximum penetration performance.

Mustad Classic treble hooks are a long-standing, budget-friendly choice with standard-strength wire and nickel plating that keeps lures protected from rust in everyday freshwater and light saltwater use. They stand out for value and accessibility — not as needle-sharp or heavy-duty as Gamakatsu or Owner, but cost-effective for anglers who need dependable replacements without the premium price tag.
