I don't fish your waters so I can only comment on MY use. I have pictures of spoons with treble hooks used on trout where all you see is the spoon. The treble hook is so deep, there is no return.
This is from casting out and reeling in quickly, slow whatever. Aggressive fish will hit and hit anyway they need. The fact that there is three hooks in one is a gimmie, I am sorry that is how I see it. The fish has no chance at throwing all three. People use them as a "guarantee" and that I truly believe.
Fishing is a blood sport so this will happen.
Let me stress I protest treble on C&R and specially with protected species as I believe the chances of hooking a fish safely on one of the 3 hooks is slim.(and kinda defeats the purpose or supports the single hook)
Not all waters. I understand they are better for soft bait.
I have never lost a fish from the hook and never had a problem hook setting a circle and that has been my choice for several years. I have lost fish on flies with long tails however. So on those flies, I attach a stinger using a circle hook.
