I've been using the Gammie 4/0 for kings and "big" silvers tha last couple of years. Last fall I was tired of cutting off the wild fish with $.80 worth of hooks in their mouths so I switched to my favorite steelhead style hook, a Mustad 92553 in 4/0. This spring I again used Gammies for Springers, and I can usually get a couple of fish per hook usage before they are screwed up. Well, over the weekend I used my Mustads again because I was out of Gammies. My wife and I caught 8 summer kings (and lost one, on a bent hook) and all eight riggins' (double 4/0's) were shot after one fish. I was really suprised at how "soft" the mustads were as compared to the Gammies. Here's my question: What is a good, "hard" hook that won't bend much (nor break - not too hard) that is affordable in large quantities and I might be able to get a couple uses out of it with proper sharpening? Or should I just use the Gammies, and not try to save a few bucks? Thanks!!!
