I looked at the VMC's and I like them... only thing is I can't find them
locally.

I bought all mine locally, but both places stopped carrying them after they
ran out. Last I looked, I think staminainc.com carried them.

I like the Gamakatsu and Eagle Claw Laser Sharp hooks. The Eagle Claws
appear to be a bit more stout and don't bend as easily, but I like the way
the Gammi's penetrate and especially the way a Fluke type bait works with
the weight of this hook.

I bought a couple of packs of the Lazer Sharp EWGs. I thought they were very
good for a cheap hook (25 for about $3.50 at Wal-Mart). The only thing I
didn't care for is that the point seems to point outward just about a gnat's
eyelash and it doesn't Texpose quite as flat as some other brands.

Those were the first hooks I started using for plastics, and come to think
of it... I liked them. You could get them in a box of 50 for not much cash,
which was good for the rate that I was hanging them up in the rocks.

As far as I can remember too, I'd get a hook hookset with them. (Even on the
rocks, LOL) I think I quit using them because of the rocks, and the way the
other brand would lay on the bait so perfectly. I'll add these to my
shopping list along with the Daiichi's.

It is exstreamly rare that a "hook" hangs in rocks, they hang in brush,
stumps, logs, and weeds,, something they actually penetrate. It's not
impossible to hang them in rocks, but it is rare. There may be brush or
other things in the rocks that is hanging your hooks, making you think
they are snagging in the rocks

Weights hang in rocks, at least most of them do :-)

Rodney said it, so it must be true. All the times i have lost a hook
in the rocks (ie: Round Valley) must have been my imagination. My
bad...Sure you can see down 30+ feet and see exactly what you are hung
on, but my eyes musta been playin' trix on me. I've lost all kids of
stuff to whatever it is that 'looks' like rocks over there. Maybe I'll
get a sample and have Rod ID whatever this bottom cover is for me.
