Upsizing the hook might screw with the action. Might just want to upgrade the split rings and trebles. A lot of times the factory hooks are dull and tend to bend when you hook a bigger fish, the split rings can also be suspect. Try Owner Stinger trebles, really sharp and really strong. Get a size that matches what came from the factory. I've caught some big fish on trolled hardbaits with really small hooks, so that shouldn't be the problem.
