I was approached by a guy this past weekend @ Monte square / Chevron station in Montesano sunday morning before heading out fishin.This guy was handing out sample's of hooks and said JR is the owner of the hook company!!!!.I declined the offer as I'm a die hard gammi / owner fan.The label looked to be the same as the one's your talking about.If I was a guide I would look into these cheaper hook's but being a weekend worrior I can't afford to be losing fish or spending more time changing out hook's that have rolled over on the points or have bent out.Good luck,
