The OWNER STX-45ZN Stinger Treble Hook is a lightweight, high-performance replacement treble designed to provide excellent penetration, strength and lure balance.
Its TAFF WIRE construction allows OWNER to produce a strong hook with relatively fine wire. The reduced diameter helps the hook penetrate efficiently while minimizing additional weight on the lure, helping hard baits maintain their intended swimming action and balance. OWNER’s current official specifications identify TAFF WIRE across the entire STX-45ZN range.
The STX-45 also incorporates a distinctive hook geometry designed to improve retention. As illustrated in OWNER’s technical diagram, the hook point guides the fish’s mouth deeper into the bend after penetration, helping reduce the chance of the hook working free during the fight.
Its balanced weight is another major advantage. OWNER’s comparison chart shows that the STX-45 is very close in weight to the popular ST-46 across equivalent sizes, allowing anglers to replace ST-46 hooks with STX-45 models without significantly altering lure presentation.
The ZINC finish provides corrosion resistance, making the STX-45ZN suitable for a variety of freshwater and saltwater lure applications.
Available from #10 through #1, the series is ideal for minnows, crankbaits, jerkbaits, topwater plugs and other hard lures where penetration, hook retention and balanced presentation are important.
