Good hooks

[Siefer]

I just got some regular hooks and no clue who makes the best. So which ones should I be looking at? Also is there some kind of hook that decreases hang-ups. One of the ponds I fish at have lots of vegetation and I have lost 4 Senko's in the past 2 days.

Don't know who makes the best hooks. There are quite a few really good ones. Gamakatsu, Owner and Sugoi are on the top of my list.

As far as reducing hangups, are you skin-hooking your baits when fishing in vegetation? That will help some.

If you're using Senko's, just resign yourself to the fact that you will go through a lot of them. No way around it.

Cheers,

I agree with Ghoti, you will go through alot of senkos

There are alot of good quality hooks.  Some of my favorits are X point, owner, gamie, mustad ultra point.

Only four ? If you leave the hook exposed , this is going to happen often.

Ok so don't hook my senko's all the way through?

The term is "skin hook." Bring the hook through the bait and "pinch-up" the plastic to hide the point. This will reduce your hang-ups dramatically. Also, the hooks I reccomend (regardless of the brand) are 4/0 EWG Offset Worm Hooks.

I fish Gamakatsu and X-Point.

Gamakatsu & Owner's for me.......... ;D

I've always used Gamakatsu hooks, but I did pick up some VMC EWG's a while back. They seem pretty good, but I'll have a better opinion after I fish them this season.

The owner rig'n hook is the best hook i have ever used.
