Hi Hamad,
lure maker will be the ideal person to ask about rigging and what best hook to use on their lures in general,
from my experience lure makers go through time and effort trying to find the best way to swim their lures,
I suggest you to get in touch with Eric and get his opinion beside the fishing community.
Tight lines

Hamad, as you can see from the picture I do not like lures ORION :) (liar Gege) Sami is right because Eric is more than sympathetic he will answer you.
On his site there are already some answers.
Personally I do not hesitate to put big treble on the tail of large poppers, Decoy barbs crushed or GT Recorder (Barbless) is very effective but it's my little opinion

Hi Hamad,
to my knowledge Eric usually advices using treble hooks on his Orion lures. On the Orion lures website (http://orionlure.free.fr/english.html) (http://(http://orionlure.free.fr/english.html)) the suitable treble sizes are actually indicated for the different lure models and their different sizes. The treble sizes should correspond to the sizes (and weights) of Owner ST 66 trebles. If you get hold of them use the barbless ones, otherwise crush the barbs. If you want to use singles you should find out which weight the suggested trebles have (see here: http://gamefishingindia.blogspot.de/2013/12/treble-truth-by-pat-dorkings.html (http://gamefishingindia.blogspot.de/2013/12/treble-truth-by-pat-dorkings.html)) and then pick a good single with a similar weight (see here: http://www.gtpopping.com/forum/index.php/topic,6634.msg55900.html#msg55900 (http://www.gtpopping.com/forum/index.php/topic,6634.msg55900.html#msg55900)).
Enjoy,
Robert
