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

I am strictly a recreational angler, but I use Rapala/VMC #7316. Just like
a
Gammy EWG, but with a locking bend. They're a tad less sharp out of the
box,
but sharp enough, however, just one or two strokes with a file will make a
difference if you want. But then, I don't meet up with the big slobs that
you Tennesseans do.

For me, those hooks are an excellent blend of quality and price.
