I don't think very many folks use these, but the Matuzo Sickle hooks work
very well for me and I've tried about everything. I replace all of my
crankbait hooks with these also and haven't lost a fish. I lose my share
with Gammies and all of the other premium brands though. The Matuzo's are a
bit hard to find, but they are worth a try. I haven't bent a worm hook yet
either, and they bite very well on even a mediocre hookset.

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,
