Hook Brands....Does it really matter?

[RiverBottomOutdoors]

I don't think the brand matters much at all....just the type of hook for the fishing you are doing.

Do you use SS hooks?

Bass Pro XPS hooks for me.

:twisted: Gami is number one in my book. Love the VMC hooks that come on the SK Redeye lipless crank. Trokar also makes a top notch hook.

Mainly Gamakatsu but sometimes Owner.

I love how this thread is a month shy of being 7 years old. Why are all these old bait threads being brought back to life?

I use Gammi hooks for soft plastics like Senkos, tubes, and drop shot rigs. I think its very important to use a high quality, sharp hook when only one hook is being presented in a subtle way and getting a good hook-set is important.

When using things with trebbles (spinners, crankbaits, spoons etc) I don't think quality really matters. As long as they are relatively sharp and strong enough not to break, you are good to go. I carry a couple boxes of Eagle Claw trebbles and just replace ones that get old or dull.

Gams and trokar

I used to use Gamakatsus exclusively. Then, I broke a hook on a fish. just the eye and part of the shank came back. thought it was a fluke, til it happened again on another fish, with a different size hook......then again. I gave all of my Gammie dropshot hooks away and switched to Owner Mosquitos. No broken hooks yet with them.

I still use Gammie EWG worm hooks and jig hooks, but I've never had problems with them.
