Gam's EWG treble #4 on all of my traps. I love them. The stick in my fingers often, so I guess they are sharp. I have lost few fish since I started changing all of my hooks to the gamakatsu's. I change all my hooks on baits with treble hooks as soon as I open them. There are a few company's that I like their hooks (Lucky craft, megabass are awesome - but the rest I change). I swear, a bandit with new Gama hooks is every bit as good as a high dollar crankbait (I just won a club tournament today with that combo).
