Mooch, You're right man. Believe me, I love big hooks. I used to tie single 2/0 and 3/0, but these big boys are just way too sticky toward the rocks and crap on the bottom. Also, I use very small bait/corkies and the #1 are perfect, not too small for the lips, and not too big for the presentation.
Dan, These are just as sharp and look exactly like the REAL gammies, but they sure don't act like them.
Any one have experience using the Matsue (something like that) from Cabelas? I searched around and saw this new impressive looking style at Cabelas.
Thanks

Well Im sure I will get an earfull on this one, but have to say it any way. I used to get Vision hooks for free and really liked them, actually I wouldnt use anything else, not just because I got them for free either, but I really liked how sharp they were. Buuut then there was a time of fishing when those Visions took a turn for the worst and I basically was completely fed up with them that I would rather get a hook that I found on the ground and rig it up instead. These are all sizes of these hooks. I had piles of these hooks and would end up picking out way too many defective hooks to count, also the bigger hooks that I would use for spring and summer kings would have a very high ratio of bending. Out of 100 smaller hooks, not sure the size, the smallest you would want to go for steelhead, I had 20 of those break, and another 10 or so defective. I still was behind them though. When I started to buy them again and this still happened, I was to be honest PIST OFF, and started to search for a new hook. I use 12# - 15# test so Im doubting it is the line strength that is causing this. Also tried those Owner hooks, now that is a sharp hook, but seemed to be weak also, so now its gammies, but am not stoked about the price of these, thank God for Sportsman wharehouse, can get them for $2.00 cheaper than OP. OK Im ready to hear the lashback. Just guessing who it will come from first.
