Re: live bait
Treble hooks are for lures only mate, or for pike fishing in fresh water.
Even when using them on lures I flatten the barbs and cut a hook off and turn it into a double hook, trebles are a bit nasty/overkill imo
Just pick a normal hook, what size depends on the bait size but you don't need to go huge, use a 1/0 with a small mackerel
