Went to pick up some new hooks today and i noticed the owner hooks beside the gammy's. They looked prety good. Does anyone know how the Owner's compare to Gamakatsu? I was looking at the offset shank worm hooks and the ewg's.

I use both..usually cuz the tackel shop is out of 1 style in gammie's, so I'll grab the owners..I really can't tell the difference. Although I must admitt, I favor the gammies due to their reputation.

I prefer Owners over anything else the vast majority of the time.

Owner hooks are far superior to gamakatsu , i finally got tired of gamakatsu hooks flexing way to much and having fish come unhooked . i recently gave away all of the gamakatsu hooks i had to some youngsters at one of the places i fish . treble hooks , rig n' hooks (ewg) , weighted and un weighted swimbait hooks ( the Beast ) , twistlock w/cps (center point spring) , oversize worm hooks (7/0 & 11/0 ) , shakey head jigs , and the list goes on !! , owner hooks are the best , period ......

i like both types of hookers   some do better what others dont  ;D

you must be using a thin wire hook, cuz I never have them flex on me. I use the 3/0 and 4/0 g lock worm hooks and they are tough. Owners are excellent too.

Let's not forget the "sled head". It features a type of twist lock with the hook shank being the centering pin.

Owner.

I have tried both, and to be honest I went with Gamakatsu and still use them to this day exclusivly with zero issues. If you are having trouble hooking and holding fish on ANY quality hook that is proper for the job at hand, take a look in the mirror for the problem.

the thin wire gammys stink. I've lost lots of tourney fish with them flexing.

Owners rule and the point is cool looking

Owners all the way.

I've always been a gammy guy but based on some of the opinions on this thread I'll give owner a shot next time I get hooks.

The last time I was flipping grass, I bent a Gamakatsu 5/0 EWG Superline hook.  It didn't straighten but I couldn't use the hook anymore.  I was using 65lb braid and the fish was better than 5lbs.  That was the first time that has ever happened to me with the Superlines.  I haven't tried the Owners but will probably give them a shot this weekend.

I have been fishing Gamakatsu for 12 years without an issue of any

kind. I also picked up some XPoints a few years ago and REALLY liked

them, too. Our local Sportsmen's Warehouse recently went out of

business and I picked up some Owners, two 25 packs for $10!!!!!

Owners are great, but I bought the heavy gauge 5/0 EWG Offset

Worm Hooks which have limited application for me. I guess I will

be fishing these occasionally for the next decade!

    x3.  Owner hooks are very strong and very sharp.

I switched to Owner recently and I'm going to stick with them. Gamakatsu makes good hooks but the points on their EWGs seemed to roll often.

I like both!  I use Gammy's mainly for t-rig applications.  really like the EWG superline.  I have bent some of the regular EWGs when I hung up, but never on a fish, if you have then maybe your drag is too tight.

The Owner beast series us absolutely awesome for swimbaits.

Nothing wrong with a Gammy.  I have some and have no problems with them.  

The twistlock feature is the big item with me.  

Also got a couple of packs of the Beast.  Heavier and should work well on the larger plastic baits.

I bought two packs of each size of twistlocks to use on other hooks.

Circle hooks?  I'm satisfied with either brand.  

Still learning what to use in different applications.

I generally use Owners.  There are a few other brands that I like specific hooks.  Gammy Wide Gap Finesse in 2/0 is one.  I like their Drop/Split shot hooks as well, but I'm also having good results with Owner SSW.  The cutting point on the Owners really does make a difference.  It turns a muffed or wimpy hookset into a hooked fish.

I'd say that Owner's are a bit better, but if Gammies are on sale I'm not going to pass them up.

I've got a bunch of different brands.  Xpoint, owner, vmc, gami, mustad ultra pt.

They are all good but overall I think I prefer the xpoint as number one.  Then probably owner.  Mustad,VMC, and gami are similiar.  All are great hooks but I dont think they are as good as the first too.  

I've used Gamakatsu for a long time, with zero problems, so until they fail me, I'll keep using them.

After seeing two Gamakatsu's break, and then have one of them break myself, I am slowly phasing them out of my Falcon box.

I also prefer Owner.  Gamakatsu are great hooks, no doubt, but I think Owner hooks are just better.
