I have switched almost entirely to using the stinger hook setup for steelhead. I would say over half the fish landed were hooked on the second hook, but not the first one, and everytime except once the hook popped out on it's own while the fish was in the net before i could do it. Crimping the barbs makes a big difference in a good release, even w/ trebles. I have switched almost entirely to crimped barbs on my hooks. The one area I would like to leave them is the one area that they are required, go figure. [:/]
