I have been a Gammie Guy for years. This season I found some Mustad Knife Point Red Octopus hooks on eBay and I thought they looked good. I bought 2000 of them @.08 each. A good price. Needed a quick touch of the file and had the same shape but a little finer wire, which I thought I liked, as the gammies. Now that the season is winding down I have wished that I would have never done that move. My landing precentage has gone from 75% to around 50%.
All my fishing is with clients and drift fishing only with bait. 2/0 Red...
Just sold the remaining hooks I had left and I am looking into some other brand.
So far Gammies for the first choice. I have never seen the other brands all of you are talking about. Tackle stores in my area pretty well suck. Guess I have to go to the city where the good buys are.
Is there a tackle rep. out there that wants to sell some good hooks? I needem'
