Today in our lab at work I weighed a 4X 1/0 VMC treble hook and a 1/0 4X Owner Power Point treble hook.

The Owner Power Point treble hook looks a lot beefier than the VMC treble yet both are rated " 4x".

The 4X VMC 1/0 treble weighed 2.14 grams while the 4X Owner treble weighed 3.2 grams. That's 50% greater!

I'm going to try the Owner Power Points next season. They are recommended by Leo Orsi, Sr. in his book STRIPER CHRONICLES.

The author suggests replacing factory-supplied hooks on striper plugs with OWNER Power Point trebles. Maybe Leo Orsi has no experience with VMC trebles?
