Trokars are definitely worth the money. Only thing, you have to watch when fishing in rocks with them to make sure the tip don't get bent, only ones I've had trouble with the tips on is the drop shot hooks. I've been fishing them exclusively for the last 2 years, except on my shaky heads, but I've started pouring my own now with trokar hooks, so now I'm pretty much 99% trokar. LOL They are pricey, but they are extremely sharp.
