What Brand Hooks.

Owner. Their trebles are the best. I like all their hooks, the twistlocks with CPS work great for rigging. Love the bulk pack Mosquito hooks as well... Great deal on DS hooks.

When buying a lure, we rarely have a hook choice. But when buying loose hooks,

I only purchase premium brand hooks such as Owner, Gamakatsu and Trokar.

 

When comparing premium brand hooks, my attention turns to 'point style', which IMO

is more important than zooming in on a specific brand. Given a choice, I'll always opt

for a 'knife-edge' point (triangular point) over a 'needle point' (conical point).

As a conical point penetrates, the pressure increases until penetration reaches the full diameter of the wire,

but that's not the case with a knife-edge point. When a triangular cut-edge point begins to penetrate,

membrane is severed with a cleaving action that generates little or no pressure buildup (like a knife).
