Super User eyedabassman Posted February 15, 2009 Super User Posted February 15, 2009 I think VMC is my number one and Gamakatsu is wright behind. Quote
Triton9 Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 3 way tie between gamakatsu,owner and VMC.but gammy got my vote Quote
BASS fisherman Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I use differnt brands for different applications. Quote
Mattlures Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 #1 Owners #2 Gammies #3 Mustad ultra points. Quote
Super User Catt Posted February 15, 2009 Super User Posted February 15, 2009 Mustad Straight Shank Denny Brauer Flipping Hook #32807BLNU32 Quote
LOW7681 Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 VMC 7316 EWG hook. Why? Because per gape distance the hook is shorter than Gamakatsu hooks. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 15, 2009 Super User Posted February 15, 2009 I use Gamakatsu and XPoint single hooks, but picked up some Owners for the first time yesterday. Sportsman's Warehouse has selected sizes 1/2 off, 28 5/0 EWG Offset Worm Hooks for $10. My standard size is 4/0 so this will be a bit of an experiment. Otherwise, I am very impressed with VMC treble hooks and Mustad on some of my jigs. I have never had an issue with these hooks or those listed in the first paragraph. 8-) Quote
BassnMan Mike Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 IMHO nothing better than TTI Companies X-Point and Daiichi Quote
T-Bone Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I only use Gamakatsu. I like Owner and Mustad, but I have had to the best luck with Gamakatsu. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted February 15, 2009 Super User Posted February 15, 2009 I only buy Gamakatsu hooks, but baits that come with other hooks don't get changed out if they are decent. Rapala uses VMC I think and they are great hooks, and alot of the jigs I use have a heavy mustad hook and those are good too. Quote
Super User T-rig Posted February 15, 2009 Super User Posted February 15, 2009 Can't go wrong with Owner. Quote
hjerk24 Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Catch most of my plastics bass on Slider Hooks. I use the Spider Hooks 2 3/4 " I think usually 1/16th oz, and 3/8th's. They work great for most baits I use. They can bend sometimes with a larger fish, but never lost a fish to a broken hook. Quote
ptomacbass Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Owners are the best. Gamakatsu hooks are quickly becoming worse than Eagle Claws. Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted February 15, 2009 Super User Posted February 15, 2009 Gamakatsu EWG's, and VMC trebles. Falcon Quote
Bad to da Bass Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I would definetly have to say that Owners are the number 1 brand of hooks on the market today. 8-) Quote
ToledoEF Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 My brother put me on gammys a while ago! Quote
Super User Munkin Posted February 16, 2009 Super User Posted February 16, 2009 Depends on the hook and the application? Allen Quote
Stringjam Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 What kind of hooks? For typical soft plastics stuff, my fav is the Mustad Ultra-Lock For trebles, I think Owner probably makes the best one out there. Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted February 16, 2009 Super User Posted February 16, 2009 Have mostly gammies but I'm not brand loyal...they are the best at my walmart Quote
bass wrangler569 Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Owners are the best. Gamakatsu hooks are quickly becoming worse than Eagle Claws. Worse than eagle claws? I could break the points off of all my gammys and they would still be sharper than eagle claws. To answer the question: I fish gammys but I wouldn't feel disadvantaged at all if I had to use owner, mustad or VMC, they all make awesome hooks. Quote
Super User CWB Posted February 16, 2009 Super User Posted February 16, 2009 Owner Mustad Gammie VMC Really all pretty close. Quote
Triton21 Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 #1 Owners#2 Gammies #3 Mustad ultra points. Xs 2 Quote
Calcutta Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Let me be the nut here and say that I think owner hooks are too hard. Ive had several owner worm hooks actually break before they bend. Quote
