[jamarkwe]

Ketchup Hooks are much better.....

[Siebert Outdoors]

Mustad ultra points are great hooks.  I use these alot.  

The octopus hooks you bought are also quality hooks.

Don't feel bad...i spelled it like that too... ;D

I use Gman's jigs and that's what he has on there.

I really like the Ultra-Lock worm/soft plastic hooks.  

The Triple-Grip trebles will flat keep a fish on, but they bend WAY too easily.  

Some people love Triple Grips and some people hate them.....I'm trying some Gamakatsu EWG's to see if I can remedy the whole hook bending thing, but still stay with that type of design.

My preferences:

1. Owner

2. Mustad or Gamakatsu

Mustad is right up there with the other "high end" hooks.

these are the 3 I use.  I have never had a problem with any of them.

The ultra points are great hooks, as are the triple grips.

the salt water 4x treble hooks are SUPER STRONG , i can't imagine ANY line straightening them out !!! ( i use them for catfishing )

[SirSnookalot]

I use their trebles on my xraps, use 1 size larger than stock, also I make stinger rigs with their 2/0 trebles and they hold perfectly, never had one straighten even on 30 or 40# fish.

I was in BPS last year during their spring fishing event.  The owner and gamakatsu reps were talking to each other.  I asked them both, "please tell me why your hook is better than the rest of the market".  At almost the same time they both said, "If you go with a quality hook (Mustad, owner gammy,), you will have no issue.  It comes down to personal preference".  I now base my decision on what hooks to buy by which of those 3 brands is on sale.

[Catt]

Mustad uses premium high-carbon steel that has been specially Nor-Tempered to increase strength as much as 30% over conventional tempering methods.

I'm with Catt. Mustad hooks are the ones I use and have never had a problem. They seem to hold a point a lot better than the rest.

[RoLo]

Mustad is a brand, not a specific hook.

Mustad probably makes more different styles and grades of hooks than any hook-maker in the world.

Every Mustad hook is not the cat's meow, but the "Mustad Ultra Point" hook

ranks right alongside Gamakatsu, Owner and Daiichi.
