Piemma... as long as you've been around, I'm surprised you'd have ANY faith at all in Mustad 3/0 (or smaller) 3x trebles around big fish! I've only been "serious" Surfcasting now for 10 yrs. or so-- serious meaning I finally had the $ to afford top- notch tackle & gear!-- but I made the decision way back then as a Cow- hunter specifically, TO upgrade all plug trebles of mine-- yes, (almost) every plug I own!-- to 4x strong ones. Back then that meant Eagle Claw 4x's, sold & touted by Bill at the Surfcaster, so I bought heavily into them & made the switch on every plug!
I agree! I was using 3/0s because of the size of the jointed swimmer. I am now making the jointed swimmers larger so as to accomidate a 4/0 Eagle Claw.
BTW, I have about 5 boxes of Mustad 3/0 3X. I will still use them up but on smaller plugs.
