    Treble hooks allow for more points of contact when the fish eats.

    ok, i figured it had something to do with the design of their jaws and the way they struck a bait, makes sense...

    Treble hooks allow for more points of contact when the tourists get too close to rods on carts! I have had to de-hook a few shirt sleeves for folks when the Octi used to be super crowded.

    The dynamite will only mess up the fillets of the fish close to the "pop", the rest turn belly up and are floating, waiting to be netted. The only problem that I have run into while using dynamite is that the dog likes to retrieve the dynamite after I throw it out. The faster I run, the faster the dog runs after me. I think dynamite would work well on the sharks, but you probable couldn't use it on the pier, maybe some night.

    They make a hook for that too. Circle hooks, no hook setting required.

    Hand Grenade works way better, it sinks quick. Saw one tossed in a creek at Ft Stewart GA.
    No fish, but it was awesome!
