Answer:
I've never once used a treble hook for Catfishing. I don't like using them because they tend to get lodged in awkward places and are just hard to get out of the mouth of a Catfish without doing damage a lot of times (I'm a catch and release fisherman). I very rarely miss fish when using a normal hook, but normal can mean a few different things to different people. You won't want to use a regular Bass hook for example. A Catfish won't have much of a problem bending it with as hard as they fight. I use hooks designed for Catfish, but they aren't treble hooks. They are an off set steel hook. Walmart has some nice ones believe it or not. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_10205316____SearchResults Something similar to that hook above will do fine for Catfishing, and be much easier for the hot dogs.

Treble hooks are only required if they are needed to keep the bait on the hook, otherwise there is really no need to use them for catfishing. In many instances you will find that "regular" hooks are going to be more effective than treble hooks. Try using a Kahle hook or a circle hook like these listed here: http://www.learntocatchcatfish.com/catfish-tackle-the-best-catfishing-tackle/

i use regular hotdogs al lthe time to catch channel catfish here (nothing works as good), take a piece of old panty hose and cut it off wrap the hotdog in nit and then put it on ur hook so it wont come off when casting, or..what i do i put the hot dog on and take about 1ft of 4lb test and wrap it around the hotdog several times ..my bait never flys off
