If you have trouble with salmon, or any fish realy spitting a treble hook, most poeple think the hook is too big, total opposite !. You either have blunt trebles or they are too small !
In reality , you have to consider a treble like 3 seperate hooks , just because it is 3 small hooks ganged together and looks big , it doesn't mean that if even 1 off those small 3 hooks out of the lot hook a fish that it will hold !. Consider the size fish you are after as if you were using a single hook , then if using a treble consider it as 3 seperate hooks, and use a treble with the same size hooks. By doing this you have 3 times as much luck hooking the fish than if you had a single hook the same size as one of the hooks on the treble .
Don't be fooled into thiniking the treble is too big for the 'fishies' mouths , all you need is one of them too hook , just like a single , and 1 of those hooks big enough for the barb to penetrate into the lip of the fish.

Cheers , Rick.

Salmon don`t have have very big mouths. It`s more to do with the fact they go freaking mental when you hook them. I swap my trebs for 1/0 inline singles, and beleive me, they still throw those. I also think that singles hook up better than trebles, but you don`t land as many fish with them. I can see the argument your putting forward, but you seem to be ignoring the fact that the hooks are at an angle to each other, thereby increasing the span the fishes mouth has to get over the hooks, you can`t simply state that it`s the equivalent of three singles, because they are virtually back to back, so surely this doubles the gape size..?

Sounds like your thinking a fish has to put its mouth over the whole treble to hook it ! , A treble flip flops around just like a single, Ever hooked a fish on a treble and seen the whole 3 hooks set ? , not often at all ! ,is usualy 2 max or just the one of the hooks most of the time, it only needs to catch one of the three hooks so long as it the size of a single you would normaly use (to get the barb into/through the lip of the fish).
Each to their own methods ! , whatever you prefer or get used to , that catches you the fish. I have no troubles with trebles at all , i prefer them ! , they catch me more fish so long as you get the treble size right .
I Don't want to argue on this !, whatever works for you and catches you fish is good . My perception and knowledge on this is just what i go off from fishing 25+ years and working on trawlers too in the past (doing a bit off fishing while working ) in the past too cheers mate , Rick.
