Placing orders for hooks and I keep seeing "In-Line" treble hooks. They appear to have the eye of the hook lined up with one of the hooks. Why would you want that? Is it for fixed eye baits (ie no swivel) so the hook nests better on the body? From what I read they keep mentioning hook setting power but I don't see the advantage.

Also, Have you seen those trebles with the two normal hooks and the third hook is huge? I am thinking of trying them just for the hellofit.
