I don't think the balance is affected at all. I replace all the trebles,on my trout plugs,with Gami Siwash's. I use little Hot Shots,Flat and Kwikfish,and some of the tiny Rapala's. I troll with these,and they seem to track nice and straight. I don't think the hooking percentage has changed,it's just WAY easier to remove a single vs.treble,on fish you're gonna release.
