It really depends on who you ask. I am a strict Daiichi man myself.
Daiichi Wide Gap to be more specific. They are very strong.. and very
very sharp. Comparable Gamakatsu hooks are very sharp as well, but are
thinner wire and open up easier.

Case in point. I was flipping/pitching tree that overhang the water,
and the branches go right to the bottom in about 2.5' of water. I
missed a fish , and hooked one of the branches on the bottom and could
not pull it free. First the line would not break. (Stren Superbraid
40lb) and then I tried pulling the hook straight out and it would not
open at all!. So I ended up taking off my shirt and reaching down the
2' to actually grab the branch, and break it off and pull the whole damn
thing up.


I have both Gamakatsu and Daiichis in my box, but I will always grab the
DAiichis first. Just my personal preference!
