I honestly think that a few years ago there was one hook better than the next, but for me, I think the playing fields leveled out. I personally like Gammy, Owner, VMC and Eagle Claw. When I do have to change out treble hooks because of use, I have a stash of Daiichi Death Traps that I bought a few years back and have been using them up. Still like em even though they fell off the favorite band wagon with most peeps.
