Sharp Hooks

[smokefan]

I know haow important sharp hooks are. I use the magna bass pro hooks, there pretty sharp but I still hit them with a file to get a real good edge on them. But I have seen the Laser Trokar hooks so I checked them out, at $10 bucks for a 5 pack is it worth it? Has anyone tried them yet? I think about the money I can save on them and put it toward buying an extra bait or pack of senko's. Just my opinion, Im interested to see what everyone else thinks.

The day I need a 2 dollar hook for Bass or Catfish is the day I quit. Give me some eagle claw lazer sharps and I will be fine

A friend of mine bought some trokar and had problems with them folding on a hard hook set. I don't think you can beat the "gama-gotch-yous" and they are expensive enough!

Use bps xps hooks or eagle claw lazer sharp without concern but never was one for finesse, always tried to cross their eye's

I've also heard about the Trokar points bending on the hookset or after getting snagged... To me that's just flat-out failure of a product especially considering how important the hook is in anyone's arsenal. Definetely not worth the money or wasted time in a tournament having to straighten or retie due to failure of the most important aspect of a lure. Not a problem in about 10 years with Gamakatsu.

Owner hooks are by far the best hooks on the market, in my opinion.
Second runner up is Gamakatsu hooks. I won't use a different type of hook for bass although I have caught thousands on eagle claw before these two came on the market.
I like them sharp but think about this... If you put one pound of pressure on a basic hook, pointed into your skin, would it go in? Now think about the pressure you apply when you cross his/her eyes.. If it's sharp, it's going in.

Gammy for sure. Trokar at $10 per pack? Really? No way no how are they worth it.

Gammy's here too. I have found nothing better. Trokars do come in cool packs though!!!LOL!! I have heard too many stories about the tips rolling over after a couple of fish. I thought Gammy's were high.

There are a lot of gimmicks in fishing tackle, but one thing is for sure - There's No gimmick to a sharp hook!!! Gamakatsu are my choice by far.

I remember buying the straight shank 5 pack from Walmart back in the early 90's. Back then most people I fished around used tru-turns. The wide gap hooks that I mostly use now where not to be found and people gave me junk for spending that few dollars for those few hooks until they tried them.
I heard things like it's a Japanese product no way would I spend that kind of money on their stuff...lol. Look at us now

Gammies or Owners for me. I've been using the Owner weedless wacky hooks and those things are just plain scary......

Am I the only Mustad user on here? Man, love my Mustads. Gammy runs a close second though.
