Trokar Hooks Worth It?

[RB 77]

The Trokars are very nice. Extremely sharp! I personally prefer Gammies for fresh water and Mustad for salt. Owner makes some very nice stuff as well. I like their needle point, the cutting point not so much. The Trokars are similar to the cutting point as in they "cut"  in to instead if "puncture" into like the round point hooks.

Interesting discussion. Back in the 60's, when off-set worm hooks first came out, the points were rather dull. Use to have to sharpen them before using them. Never had a problem setting the hook on many a bass back then and even through the years. 

 

Now a days, most hooks come already pretty sharp. Certainly sharper than the old ones we use to use. And Gamakatsu's are not all that expensive, so you can actually change hooks instead of trying to re-sharpen them. I just don't see any proof that there is an adequate ROI (Return On Investment, for you non business types) on the new Trokars. So, I'll stick with the Gammy's for now.
