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.Originally Posted by DJD

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.

Gammi offset shank for my pitching/flipping and Owner Trebles for my CB's.
