Catt reply :
Mustad Straight Shank Denny Brauer Flipping Hook #32807BLNU32
LOW7681 reply :
VMC 7316 EWG hook. Why? Because per gape distance the hook is shorter than Gamakatsu hooks.
roadwarrior reply :
I use Gamakatsu and XPoint single hooks, but picked up some
Owners for the first time yesterday. Sportsman's Warehouse
has selected sizes 1/2 off, 28 5/0 EWG Offset Worm Hooks for
$10. My standard size is 4/0 so this will be a bit of an experiment.
Otherwise, I am very impressed with VMC treble hooks and Mustad
on some of my jigs. I have never had an issue with these hooks or
those listed in the first paragraph.

IMHO nothing better than TTI Companies X-Point and Daiichi
T-Bone reply :
I only use Gamakatsu. I like Owner and Mustad, but I have had to the best luck with Gamakatsu.
ww2farmer reply :
I only buy Gamakatsu hooks, but baits that come with other hooks don't get changed out if they are decent. Rapala uses VMC I think and they are great hooks, and alot of the jigs I use have a heavy mustad hook and those are good too.
T-rig reply :
Can't go wrong with Owner.
hjerk24 reply :
Catch most of my plastics bass on Slider Hooks. I use the Spider Hooks 2 3/4 " I think usually 1/16th oz, and 3/8th's. They work great for most baits I use. They can bend sometimes with a larger fish, but never lost a fish to a broken hook.
ptomacbass reply :
Owners are the best. Gamakatsu hooks are quickly becoming worse than Eagle Claws.
MALTESE FALCON reply :
Gamakatsu EWG's, and VMC trebles.

I would definetly have to say that Owners are the number 1 brand of hooks on the market today.

Depends on the hook and the application?

Stringjam reply :
What kind of hooks?
For typical soft plastics stuff, my fav is the Mustad Ultra-Lock
For trebles, I think Owner probably makes the best one out there.

Mustad

Owner for me.
KYntucky Warmouth reply :
Have mostly gammies but I'm not brand loyal...they are the best at my walmart

Worse than eagle claws? I could break the points off of all my gammys and they would still be sharper than eagle claws.
To answer the question: I fish gammys but I wouldn't feel disadvantaged at all if I had to use owner, mustad or VMC, they all make awesome hooks.
CWB reply :
Owner
Mustad
Gammie
VMC
Really all pretty close.

Calcutta reply :
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.
J Francho reply :
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.QuoteLet 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.
Raul reply :
Owner, then Gammies, then VMC.

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.
