There is no evidence that he used such a treble hook for his own purposes.

I was free drifting them with a single split shot. don't recall the size but it was pretty much a 00 buckshot that has been cut right down the middle.
So the set up is as follows.
Main line. split shot. swivel. 4 - 5 foot leader. I use Pline CX which has been flourocarbon coated as my leader line. to a 1/0 gammy big river bait hook. with a egg loop knot.
I just used cured eggs(sulfite based) on the hook.
Make sure your split shot is and clamped close to the swivel.
you can use a little piece of yarn for more color. but I like the natural presentation. The bite will feel like a nibble at first then a tug when the fish take it.
