Do you know why cutting points are superior? Here's the math:

P=F/A

P=pressure (Pressure required for penitration)
F=Force (Force exerted on hookpoint by angler/rod/line)
A=area (Cross sectional area of point making contact with fish)

As "A" aproaches zero, "P" aproaches infinity, and there is not a substance known to man that can withstand infinate pressure without being penitrated, much less fleash and bone. With a cutting point the point of the hook is honed to a knife edge, making the "A" variable much closer to zero than is possible to achieve with a conical point hook.

Food for thought. \:\)
