There just a little thin unsure how strong they are but that's all they had. I use a snell knot on the first hook 20-25 or 30 florocarbon.improved clench knot about 6 inches back on the second hook, if there no slack in the line the treble hook will pull out as the mackerel swims . I hook the treble hook either on top or bottom behind the dorsal fin.
I'm thinking about just use two circle hooks so the second hook doesn't pull out.
I have used them too with just the second hook swinging freely but you can snag the bottom that way
