I've used the 6x and have even had some of them bend on fish - and I use mono. They are stronger and heavier as NIB says. I use them exclusively on needles. There is no perfect treble so far. We had guys using stainless trebles years ago. They were strong but instead of bending the points broke off! You can only put so much pressure on the bass. If they get your treble on the bottom forget it - too much weight and tourqe will bend it easily. Hook-em-up using trebles and the right tackle and hope for the best. But if you really want to land a better percentage of your hook-ups - figure out what presentation they'll take that has a strong single hook.
