Charles,

With money on the line, for me it is Daiichi , and nothing else. If I was
going for a line class record, Daiichi, if I was in the bassmasters classic,
Daiichi. I have used so many different hooks, Gamakatsu are have too light
of wire, I don't like the cutting edge of Mustad or Eagle Claw, to me the
points bend to easy.
I guess I can't say enough about them, and wish I could send everyone free
ones to try just so they knew as well!

Take care,

Chris

I lost a fish yesterday that definately would have helped my standings, due
to a bad hook. I generally have no problems with the BPS hooks, but then
again, every now and then I get one that wants to bend very easily.
Yesterday was a good example. I set the hook on a fish and missed. I knew
good and well that he was there and felt the fish as I set the hook. When
I
reeled in my line, I noticed the the hook was bent like I had hung up on a
rock... except there wasn't enough pressure for a bend like that. I
examined
the hook to find that I could easily bend that thing in any direction I
wanted to, and it would remain in that position.

So, I'm going to be looking for another hook that I can use and won't
bend.
I've tried the gammy's and the owners, but didn't like the gammys and the
owners are way too expensive. Anyone have any suggestions? (EWG - 2/0,
