So I've been fishing eagle claw lazer sharp wire hooks. But got some gamakatsu. Wow they are such a step up in quality and thickness and finish! What are yall using?

VMC hooks mostly, cuz they are mad cheap. But I have Gammies and they are much better than VMC hooks.

Owner hooks for over a decade, gammys even longer, some mustads... Some Vmc, some trokars, Daiichi..

Gammie EWGW for most plastics in 4/0 and 5/0 but for my worms  I like the Trokar straight shank worm hook in thin wire in 4/0.

I use Owner, Gammy, Trokar and Mustad.  Different hooks for different things.

Primarily VMC hooks. Gamakatsu or Trokar IF I can get them on sale.

Awesome! I see no one uses the cheap wire eagle claws I was using haha

Fwiw, I use those for panfish just fine, lol..

Lmao I have some of there panfish hooks also

Gammy, Owner and VMC here, too.

I used those for quite awhile, I found them to be very sharp and never had a problem sticking a fish. They did seem to rust alttle faster than other brands but not to bad. I've since moved onto other brand worm hooks that I can buy 25 packs during sales but use nothing but eagle claws on my jig hooks. Don't really get the disdain for the eagle claws.

Almost anything is gonna be a step up from those eagle claws. Like said above they're small diameter and hook up good but they rust fast and tend to bend easier than others. I now use Gamakatsu for all my plastics and either Mustad or VMC for trebles.. depends on what's cheaper at the time. I've tried Trokars which are nice but you can get 25 gammys for the price of 15 trokars.

Gamiee

Man that's a bad problem in the salt air here in fl. The eagle claws rust so fast after opening the package

Owner. Only hooks I use.

I have hooks out the ying yang . I buy them on clearance. I have to say though, worm hooks its hard to beat the standard offset Gammys. 

VMC for single point hooks, Mustad for trebles.

I've used Eagle Claws in the past.

My primary hooks are Gamakatsu.

 

I like Split Shot/Dropshot hooks in 1/0 on 

which I tie my own weedless guards. Also 

like the Wide Gap Finesse hooks.

 

Gammy O'Shaugnessy hooks for TX rigging.

 

Also use/used Owner, VMC, Daichii, others.

 

Gammy has my attention for quality, availability, 

sharpness, and general durability.

For plastics I only use two brands, Owner and Gamakatsu.

I used Gamakatsu for years and still do for some baits. I'm mainly using Owner now...sharpest hooks on the market IMO and definitely worth the money. Unless they already come rigged with them, suck as Megabass, I'll replace the trebles on my cranks with Owner.

I've been Owner & Gammy for years unless I'm flipping - then I use the Trokar TK130. But I recently came across a smaller company called Penetration Hooks. Delivery was fast & quality is awesome.

Same here...only add VMC lol

I'm a big owner fan for almost all applications.

Vmc cuze there cheap and sharp. Sometimes gama when I feel rich.

X2.

I'm on the KISS wagon and use 1/0 ewg for almost all of my plastic fishing. Keeps clutter down and limits the types/size of baits I impulse buy.

I got a bulk deal on eagle claw hooks a while back and couldn't give them away fast enough. For a while I would bring some packs hoping someone else was fishing where I was so I could give them some. I made some local kids very happy.
