I like going up 1 size on small kastys and jigging raps. Gamis are nice but pricey. Otherwise the bass pro name brand works alright.

Sometimes on small jigging spoons I'll add a small swivel or chain with a single hook like a Gamakatsu Octopus.

I go up a size and put a decent treble on with an extra split ring and sometimes a flutter blade

Here are a few for backwater perching - i'm going to change them all out to 2-3 split rings, they work better

I like swinging hooks on my spoons too. A number of good options have already been mentioned. I'm with matzilla in eliminating potential weed catchers and favor chain, bead swivels, split rings or power snaps in place of clips, conventional snaps or fastach (even though these are dirt easy).

Any good hook will serve you well: Gamas, VMC, Owner, are all top choices but don't overlook "made in USA" Eagle Claw. They make great hooks and their L934 treble is a 3x Lazer sharp regular shank that comes in two finishes (black pearl and red) in sizes 16 - 3/0.
To fish or not to fish? That's a stupid question!

I was looking for a cheap replacement treble option and bought this kit last year.  https://www.amazon.com/Fishing-Treble-Carbon-Strong-Saltwater/dp/B07BJZF83L/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=treble+hooks&qid=1596564559&sr=8-6

Honestly, I wasn't sure about what quality I would receive - but I was impressed!  I view ice fishing as a fun activity so I wasn't looking to pay top dollar, but if they were junk I wouldn't use them.  Take it for what you will, but for $12 and free Prime shipping I am quite happy.
My Setup:  Otter XL sled on a smitty.  10" Strikemaster Lithium 50 Volt auger.  Clam Bigfoot XL 2000 hub.  Garmin Striker 5 Ice Bundle.

On the cheap and available end, Mustad and VMC gets my use.  On the more expensive end, Owner and Gamakatsu.
