Wide gap trebles

 I've recently purchased some new rings and trebles to upgrade my lures, I came accross some trebles with one of the three hooks being a wide gaped hook, 

just curious if anyone has any pros or cons with these? 

I can imagine it making it more difficult to throw the hook but does it effect the hook up rate or lure action?

also what's people's opinions on feathers on the trebles, makes a difference or no?

thanx Pegz
