I've fished with spoons for a lot of years. To increase hooking success, especially with larger fish like trout and salmon, I replaced all my treble hooks on my spoons with a single barb Mustad hook. I've caught numerous trout and salmon where the single hook went right through the heavy jaw bone of the fish, something I never saw when using treble hooks. If you're having trouble hooking fish with treble hooks, consider swapping them for a single hook. I did and I'll never go back to treble hooks for larger fish.
