Quick take
Size 3 triple stinger hooks for rigging large saltwater baits and lures for ocean trolling.
The Owner STX-58 Stinger Triple Extra in size 3 is a silver treble hook for saltwater anglers after buri, hiramasa and tuna. Its newer ZO-WIRE steel allows a thinner wire for its size, so the hook sits light on a rig while keeping a needle-sharp point. Its curved-in bend and triple-point setup suit anglers fishing cut bait or live bait for hard-fighting offshore fish.
Best for
