Best round bend replacement treble hook?
Going to go with the KVD triple grips for my lipless cranks but want to stay with a round bend for my crankbaits.Here are a few I'm considering.
VMC 4X strong spark
Gamakatsu short shank treble
Owner ST-36
Lucky Craft
Would like your recommendations.

The Owner Stinger and Lucky Craft are very good hooks and I have used both a bunch. The LC are relatively hard to find and more expensive. I usually use them to replace hooks on my LC baits that already have them. The Owners are great hooks, less expensive, and readily available. You may also want to consider the ST-41 in the Owner. It is 2X strong and a great hook for bigger crankbaits. This is what I use a lot in sizes 4 and bigger.

X2 on the Owner ST-41. Especially for lipless when using braid in grass. You can put pressure on a good fish without the worry of bending.

Owner St 36 if I need a stronger hook but the hook I use most often is a Daiichi death trap.
