If you are referring to VMC Permal Steel 3x , I reckon 2/0 and 3/0 will do the trick. However, it depends on what tackle you are using it on. Permal Steel gauge is pretty thick, you may not get good penatration if you are using light rod & line.

I stopped using trebles after

I stopped using trebles after a very much more experienced bloke recommended using single hooks like the Owner Aki or Gamakatsu Big Game.

I found I got a lot less fish spitting the lures. It also does less damage to the fish.

+1 for single hook, though I've seen some experienced fishos use back to back hooks.
