Your Best Hook?

Let me be the nut here and say that I think owner hooks are too hard. Ive had several owner worm hooks actually break before they bend.
Not too hard for bass, but I've abandoned them for bony jawed fish like salmonoids.  I had a few snap at the bend on 30# fish - something I never saw happen with Raven hooks.  Keep in mind this is an EXTREME argument against Owners - we're talking 30# fish + #10 size hooks.  For just about all my bass fishing, I use Owners.

    Owner, then Gammies, then VMC.

    Owners are the best. Gamakatsu hooks are quickly becoming worse than Eagle Claws.

    At the beginning of last year I would have laughed at this statement. However, I had two Gammy's break, and saw someone else have one snap in half in my boat. Seriously considering another brand for 2009.
