No offense taken CF,

I use 2/0 with rags and corkies and such and 3/0 with plastics.

When I was a kid we used the double hook set up in size 1 and 2. When it went to single barbless CnR regs above 101 in most of the places out here we had no choice but to switch to a single hook so we started using a single 2/0 in place of the double hook set up. We notticed it did far less damage to the fish useing the one Barbless 2/0 than the double 2's and we seemed to land just as many. We have never looked back and frankly I dont think ive ever had a wild winter steelhead die on me after I released it. But I dont drag them up on the bank, I never net them, and I give them lots of breaths when taking photos, (never out of water for more than 2 or 3 seconds at a time). And last but not least I dont go out there with to light of tackle like 8 to 10 pound test and a 1141 or 1082 so I get them in quick as I can.
