VMC Barbarian treble hooks?
Despite the great reviews on Cabela's website, I wanted to know if anyone has improved their catch rate by switching to these hooks? http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?_DARGS=/cabelas/en/common/catalog/item-link.jsp_A&_DAV=MainCatcat20166-cat20291&id=0030866319894a&navCount=3&podId=0030866&parentId=cat20291&masterpathid=&navAction=push&catalogCode=IJ&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat20291&hasJS=true Any suggestions for another brand of replacement trebles?
I have replaced a few hooks on my Zara Spooks with these with good results:

If you plan on replacing hooks on topwater baits take care not to get too large a rear hook as it kills the "walk the dog" action of those type lures. I bought some poppers with the hooks in the link you gave and they were super sharp from the factory. I can't say the bend helps or hurt at all.
More often I just buy Gamakatsu EWG
trebles. These are the ones I like best:

It's not a bad idea to replace your split rings with heavy duty ones while your at it.
