Owner ST-36BC Stinger TrebleBlack Chrome

The Owner ST-36BC Stinger Treble Hooks are replacement treble hooks finished in corrosion-resistant Black Chrome, built for anglers who want dependable hooking performance from a genuine Owner hook pattern.

Each hook is fitted with three straight Owner Super Needle Points on a round-bend profile, a combination Owner identifies as delivering wide-gap hooking efficiency. The round-bend geometry and sharp points work together to help the treble penetrate quickly and hold securely once a fish strikes.

Owner also places emphasis on balanced construction across the ST-36 range, helping to preserve the natural action of a hard lure when the original trebles are swapped out. The range is supplied in size-specific pocket packs, from Size 20 up to Size 3/0, each carrying its own manufacturer code, hook weight and pack quantity.

Perfect For

These trebles are documented for freshwater and inshore saltwater use, making them a natural fit for lure anglers fishing beaches, estuaries, harbour walls and rocky shorelines. They're well suited to replacing worn or blunted trebles on surface poppers, floating and sinking minnows, hard-bodied diving plugs, pencil lures and small crankbaits, including popular bass lures.

Owner also identifies the ST-36 pattern as suitable for stinger presentations when bait fishing, giving anglers an additional hooking point on an appropriate rig. Smaller sizes suit compact lures, while the larger sizes in the range provide extra dimensions and weight for bigger baits and heavier presentations.

Technical Insight

The Black Chrome finish is corrosion-resistant, supporting the ST-36BC's suitability for inshore saltwater fishing, though rinsing and drying hooks after salt exposure is still recommended. Because changing hook size or weight can alter how a lure sits, sinks and responds on the retrieve, Owner's balanced construction aims to keep a replacement treble as close as possible to the lure's original set-up.

When fitting new trebles, check they don't foul each other or the lure body, and confirm the split rings used are correctly sized for both the hook eye and the intended application. Matching the original hook's dimensions and weight as closely as possible remains the most reliable way to maintain a lure's action after a hook change.
