moundhill Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Whats the big deal on these Trokar hooks? I dont get what makes them so special. Quote
RobbyZ5001 Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 They are surgically sharpened. They just come with a hefty tag, buy a pack and make your own decisions. Quote
Hook Set Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 I've used them for C-rigs. No complaints, but they are pricey! Then again I've had no complaints with run of the mill Gama's either. Quote
Super User David P Posted July 26, 2010 Super User Posted July 26, 2010 Sharp, but have not been perfected yet. I've had major issues with the tips of the hook bending up after only 1-2 fish. Until I hear about no issues, I won't waste anymore money. They are sharp as hell, and a great idea, but with the tips rolling up, not worth it. Quote
Super User Catt Posted July 26, 2010 Super User Posted July 26, 2010 The biggest knock against Eagle Claw Hooks has always been the point bends on hook set and I know what everyone says "Catt Trokar is a separate company and are only sold under the Eagle Claw name". Huh a separate hook company with the same traits as the parent company Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted July 27, 2010 Super User Posted July 27, 2010 I fish several brands, but decided to try the Trokar 5/0 EWG on some custom made 3/4 oz GMAN Mop jigs. Just got them last week, so it's too early to comment on durability. However, I will say these are BY FAR the sharpest hooks I have. 8-) Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 So far I have not seen a sharper hook. Ever. I have not fished with them yet. Hopefully when I get back from vacation I will have a chance to throw them. Quote
Lucky Craft Man Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 I made the mistake of using the TroKar Drop Shot Hooks. The first 4 or 5 fish hooked up real easy. Lost the next 5 fish. The final straw came when I lost a 5 pound smallmouth on these hooks. Switched out to my old mainstay, Gamakatsu, and didn't lose a fish the remainder of the day. I traded the rest of my TroKar's for a pack of Gamakatsu's to a friend who hasn't realized how fragile these hooks are. Quote
brushhoggin Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 A hook only needs a certain amount of sharpness to be set. good ole gammys and mustads are all you need. Quote
