You guys need to use a little bit smaller hooks were not fishing for 500lb tuna! We use a single size 10 treble with the biggest pike shiners you'll find.
Size 10? A size 10 treble is tiny (less than 1/2" by 1/2"). I would be worried about the hook straightening out.
I too use the size 8-10 trebles on my tip-ups, haven't lost very many and will out fish the guys using bigger hooks in the same area.
Size ten is pretty tiny. Are you waiting until these fish have almost digested the bait before setting the hook? If so, any size hook should land them... Or are you catch and releasing? Just curious...
