why not just clip the downward facing hook on the existing treble and be done with it?

I've done that, but those EWG seem much better suited for toothy type fish that would take those bigger lures.

These are similar and have the added weed/rock guard as well. They make them in size 6-6/0 but as for ruggedness of construction compared to the EWG's, you'd have to compare them side by side and determine which one's suit your needs the best and gives you the most confidence :-/

I have almost all my lures converted to them, and while I still lose my share of fish, it's never been becasue the hook failed. ;) ;D ;D
