This reminds me of the time I was challenged on Cathead Biscuits.
‘There ain’t no such a thing as Cathead Biscuits!
Do you really expect me to believe that?’

What are you after, mosasaurs? 
I just came to see what fisging was
Over my head for sure. 
It's all about that bass, 'bout that bass, no treble.
OP
I did that too. You want your credit card given to the Ho Chi Minh hook company in Chopsticks, China?
I don't know about stainless steel, but Owner makes a salt water hook coated with a "tinned finish". See Bass Pro shops if that might help.
I don't know what's happened in the years since I stopped fishing, but Owner made the best hooks I ever used back in my bass tournament days.

Carbon steel hooks are stronger than stainless steel hooks. Most are forged and plated to resist corrosion.
Stainless may be good for saltwater fishing, but I've only done that in Alaska and had no problem using regular hooks. They do make carbon steel hooks with special platings for saltwater, but I didn't bother buying them.

I use carbon steel in salt water because tey will rust out and dissolve quicker than stainless when you can't retrieve one from a fish you want to release.
Down here in the Swamp we have some rules for SS hooks. Taken from FWC website:
"Reef fish gear rules
(applies to species marked with l)
Gulf of Mexico: These regulations require the use of a dehooking device when recreationally fishing for reef fish in the Gulf of Mexico. All persons aboard a vessel harvesting reef fish must possess and use non-stainless steel non-offset circle hooks when using natural baits.
Atlantic Ocean: Recreational and commercial fishers are required to use dehooking devices as needed while fishing for reef fish. (New) When fishing for reef fish using hook-and-line with natural baits from a vessel, non-stainless steel, non-offset circle hooks are required N. of 28 degrees N. latitude and non-stainless steel hooks are required S. of 28 degrees N. latitude
These rules apply to all members of the reef fish complex including groupers, snappers, amberjacks, red porgy, gray triggerfish, black sea bass, golden tilefish, banded rudderfish, speckled hind and others. For a complete species list, please visit MyFWC.com." Joe

As stated above, carbon steel that rusts away if the fish breaks the line.
For Bridge Gaffs, large Stainless might be used, but galvanized carbon steel is used most often.
Kept really sharp.
Fishing the Keys bridges, when a big edible is hooked and pulled to the surface, we clip a large treble hook attached to a Cuban YoYo, with thin rope line, on the 20lb mono, send it down to hook dinner, and pull the fish up.
When the surface is full of shrimp, and a Tarpon gets hooked, we snap or cut the line. Heavy weights are used to get down quickly to avoid the Tarpon, and get the Snappers and Snook.
Pic of Cuban YoYo with magic musical hook and fife fish call.
Duck calls don't raise them but a Taylor Swift tune.....
and it's Catch 'em Up.
When we were kids fishing in Willow Lake, Queens NYC, my buddy walked behind me as I was casting.
Caught him in the ear lobe.
As the Doctor was trying to pull it out, unsuccessfully,
I suggested he cut the barb off first.

How good are their hooks?

Saw a show some time back where people were using treble hooks to catch salmon. Apparently more successful than the conventional way.
Fish and Wildlife was there to ticket the individuals and seize their bounty as well as their fishing gear.

What size? I probably have several in one of my tackle boxes
They are available on line

What kind of dry fly do you tie on a treble hook?

My family were commercial salmon trollers on the west coast, in the 1950's and '60's. They used fairly large salmon hooks (single), usually with herring bait. Several of the fisherman believed that it was best to use rusty hooks with freshly sharpened points. This was just for visibility concerns. Real herring don't have shiny metal hanging out the side.
