Sorry for beating a dead horse but I'm new and haven't been on very much. I catch a lot of Steelies and Salmon and I already know what to use, in my opinion anyways. I just wanted to here some of your thoughts.

Sorry Parker but Vision hooks are the biggest pieces of [Bleeeeep!] on the market. Kevin why are you using 6/0 hooks for salmon, isn't that a little big? I use Daiichi's and VMC vanadium hooks and I don't think anyone can tell me those aren't some of the best hooks.

We all have a passion for fishing so why be a tight a** when it comes to our gear? Price doesn't matter when you've got a 20 pounder on so go buy a Loomis and some Daiichi's and enjoy yourself.
