Which Trebles?

Morning all,
I have a full suite of Owner Stn-36BC treble hooks for tube flies. As I fish a lot of Frodin style patterns, I have to use them for the TTT patterns.
While they appear to be strong, the wire is fine as are the barbs small. I fish in Norway annually, and wondered what trebles people can recommend?

I'd prefer a thicker wire hook to prevent tearing of the fish and also a bigger barb.

Cheers

Ken sawada if you can find them now that he has stopped production, or 990’s.

In all honesty I'd make a call on the type of tube I'm looking to use and then pick the Treble from there. For general run of the mill stuff I've never looked past Partridge X1's in all sizes, never had a problem with them at all, both the Needle eye and the conventional wider eyed hook. I do like the Guideline hooks for where you need a heavier grade of hook. For my wee little plaggy tubes I love the Partridge X4's by Frodin. Sadly not been available for quite a while now and my stocks are running low, but they've a needle eye, nice proportions and are more than strong enough.
I did try Sawada's for a while, but the ones I had kept breaking with fish on, so they got the heave!.
1/2 the battle now is finding some one with stocks of terrible's and some certain sizes are like rocking horse pooh. Always strike while the irons there, whether it's hot or not!.

Just reviving this as I watched a mate lose a 'fish-of-a-lifetime’ when his hook straightened and I'm now rethinking all my hooks. I'm going to use far heavier hooks from now on. In Norway they often use 40lb line and really bully their fish - and the fish are real monsters. Grappling irons are essential.

I saw this page and started thinking about pike hooks but I'm not buying anything online and on trust. I think I go down to my local carp shop and have a look round. Anyone used pike gear?
