who makes the best hooks

Plenty of opinions for this question.

 

In my experience, Gamakatsu.

 

That's just my opinion....

Do you prefer the red or natural "bronze" color?

I prefer the nickel/black.

 

I've used red hooks, never impressed with them

and as they scratch, they lose the red coloring.

Different brands may have models that excel in a given application. What are you looking for?

Questions about "best" iare rarely informative.

Try to ask about specific use; who makes good hook for ________ fill in the blank application.

They're all good in they're own way. I love the mustad trebles. Owner Ewg hooks. Trokar flipping and drop shot hooks.

Gammys are the best I have come across for multiple technique. I have however started using VMC and although they are very good, not quite as sharp as games. However, for the price point I can't justify using gammys. Also, I usually break off before any hooks get dull. 

That's like asking what company has the best peanut butter.

Gammy, trokar, mustad, all of them are awesome. Depends on what you are doing.

Peter Pan honey roast for me.

Both Mustad and Eagle Claw (Tokar) make good quality and average quality hooks. VMC has been making treble hooks for OEM lures for decades. Gamakatsu, Owner and Daiichi are high quality hook suppliers.

If I had to choose a premium hook maker today it would be Owner, but there isn't any reason to choose one, we have several excellent options to choose from.

do you buy vmc over gamakatsu?

I vote ALL OF THE ABOVE LISTED.  Each has their own place and uses.  I fish all of them.  Just depends on the application.

Owner hooks . hands down best hook maker ...

-  over size worm hooks -

MUSTAD

I agree, owner are the most used for me though.

Owner with gami right behind them...

If I had to choose one manufacturer for all my hook needs it would 100 percent be Owner.

Easy question for me. The best hooks are the ones I find on sale.

Jig hooks I like eagle claw, Gamakatsu for t-rigging and trebles I try and use what is laying around.

Owner for trebles, Eagle Claw for worm hooks, VMC for flipping hooks.

Owner, gamakatsu, and daichi are my go to brands but i also use a lot of eagle claw and vmc depending on what im usingthe hook for

Splitting hairs. I'm a gammy man for the most part. I only get picky when it comes to weighted swimbait hooks. Then it's either lake fork tackle or owner beast. To me for the most part a hook is a hook. Match your tackle as sharp is good
