Treble Hooks and Stingers

Treble hooks are the standard hook configuration for wobblers, crankbaits, swimbaits and other hard lures. The right model influences hook-up speed, fish retention and the overall action of the lure. Finer wire allows extremely fast hook penetration, while stronger trebles provide greater strength when targeting large predators.

Stingers (assist hooks) are mainly used with larger soft plastics or swimbaits. They help convert short or cautious strikes into solid hook-ups and significantly increase landing ratios when targeting predators such as zander or pike.

Treble hooks for wobblers and hard lures

  • BKK Spear 21-SS – a universal treble hook with lighter wire and extremely sharp points for fast hook penetration.
  • BKK Spear 21-UVO – a version with a UV coating that improves lure visibility in deeper or murky water.
  • DECOY Treble Y-F33F – a technically refined universal treble hook with very fast hook penetration.
  • DECOY Treble Y-S25 – a lightweight treble hook ideal for smaller wobblers and finesse fishing.
  • DECOY Treble Y-S81 – a stronger treble hook for larger lures and aggressive presentations.
  • DECOY Treble Y-W77 – a robust model with a wide gape suitable even for saltwater fishing.
  • DECOY Blade Treble Y-F33BT – a treble hook with a rotating blade that adds flash and vibration to the lure.

Tip: When replacing treble hooks on wobblers, it is best to keep a similar size and weight so the lure’s action remains unchanged. Finer trebles improve hook-up rates when fish bite cautiously, while stronger models are better suited for large predators or saltwater fishing. The first four models (BKK Spear 21-SS, BKK Spear 21-UVO, DECOY Y-F33F and DECOY Y-S25) are also very suitable for building custom stinger rigs for soft plastic lures.

Tip: When fishing with larger soft plastic lures, using a stinger can significantly increase the number of successful hook-ups – especially when targeting zander or pike, which often attack only the rear part of the lure.
