I plan on fishing the Rage Rig and went to my local BPS to look for the Moaner 1/4 oz 5/0 Stroker weighted hook.  They did not have them but they did have the Gamakatsu 1/4 oz 5/0 weighted superline spr-lock hooks.  Just by looking at the pictures of both, they look pretty much identical. 

 

Since I will be fishing tomorrow I don't have the luxury of waiting for them to be delivered.  I went ahead and purchased the Gamakatsu's but wanted to get some feedback on if they will "act" like the Moaner brand.  I know the Moaner's were made espectially for this purposes, but was just curious.

 

If it is going to be different I don't mind fishing something different and getting the "real thing" delivered to me for a later date.

 

Thanks in advance for the advice.

 

 

 

 

I am pretty sure that your Gammies will work just fine.  Good luck!!

You will be fine, I have used both brands.

I was concerned that the Gamkatsu's would not fall/sink the same.  Thanks to you both for the input! 

I was thinking the same thing.  I've spent all my cash for now.  I will purchase the Gammies before my tourny in March.  When I get some cash flow I'll order the Moaner's and see which one I like the best.  

I use Gammy swimbait hooks and never had a problem at all with them. I think the brand of hook matters very little nowadays, as almost all of them will get the job done.

Precisely iv used a paper clip I rubbed on a rock to make a point and pinched some split shots to worked awesome........lol

You're like MacGyver lol.

Sad thing is I have tried that....... I was like 14 though lol and I did catch a sunfish in the pond in it lol

Just to let you guys know I offer a weighted hook for Rage Rigging.  I offer 4/0 or 5/0 size hook in multiple weights.

I'm one of your biggest fans. I guess I need to do my homework a little better.

I didn't know you offered the weighted hooks.
