Here Here Robert!

Just like the Owner HyperWires...someone needs to step up with bigbait/bigfish fishing in mind, and come up with a truly sharp, stout, and well thought out treble hook for the bigbaits of the world.

I would do field testing as Rob suggested with 25-30 pound mono, and a sampling of the biggest stoutest rods, TE400 and TE300 reels, at close range, and at distance. I have bent out the Owner stingers with the following setup more than a couple times, costing me fish:

GLoomis 966 8' Mag Heavy
25 Pound PLine CXX Green
Owner Stingers
Owner Hyperwire #5 on belly ring
TE400 Calcutta reel

Owner has the sharpness down....just need to not have the hooks bend out or break for any reason, ever.
