Default Mustad Hooks... Triple Grips! Ready... Set!!!

Ah.... The classics! Triple Grips!
If you don't want your salmon to come unbuttoned, I don't think there is a better hook in the world!
Just yesterday I was talking to Marty, he retro fitted all of his Kwikfish with Triple Grips.
It worked, as you can see!

If you would like to win some Mustad Triple Grips, I'll also throw in a beautiful Mustad ULTRA POINT hat, with leather straps, and a pack of Siwash hooks too!

Here is how to win!
Be the first back here to this thread to post the correct answer to the question below.
If you have won in the last month, please give someone else a try.
Any edited answer will be disqualified.
Man... I'm getting this lingo down!

OK, here goes....

Go visit The Mustad Site!

Find this information about Triple Grip Hooks:

Quote:
Don't be deceived by its ordinary appearance.

After over a year and a half of pro-staff testing, the perfect replacement treble hook is ready to tackle your favorite game fish -- and give you a "lock" on more fish.

The Triple Grip Treble features a HOLD TIGHT design which significantly reduces the fish's ability to throw the hook. Only Triple Grip has a unique wide gap bend to reach
out and hook the fish , then automatically pull and lock the fish in the elbow of the bend.

The more the fish fights, the more difficult it becomes to remove the hook!
<font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helv">Now... for the question part!!!

It further goes on to state:

Quote:
Like all premium Mustad hooks, Triple Grip Trebles are "Nor-Tempered," making them up to __% stronger than standard hooks. And with their thin wire diameter and chemically sharpened point they hook quicker.
<font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helv">How much percent stronger are they?

Fill in the blank, be the first to post it here, and I'll send you the goods!

Please, if you are the winner, e mail me your address today, or I'll get mixed up and send them to your best friend. :smile:

Oh, and a disclaimer... If I somehow screw up on any contest, I am not responsible, and I'll just scrap the whole thing. :smile:

I believe that the correct answer is 30

Like all premium Mustad hooks, Triple Grip Trebles are "Nor-Tempered," making them up to 30% stronger than standard hooks. And with their thin wire diameter and chemically sharpened point they hook quicker.

Good guess, geomuf.

Now that you've joined iFish, take part in the tradition of telling a good fishing story for the rest of us to enjoy. You will certainly be met with a most appreciative audience.

Welcome aboard and nice try, geomuf. You gotta be fast to win with these guys. Next time, just put in the answer, don't take time to type anything else or they will beat you every time.

Good luck! (and where is your fishing story?)

I snuck a keystroke logger onto Jennie's computer so that whenever she types "Ready...Set" the logger sends me an email warning, including the question. I normally have the answer before the question gets posted.
