A day of salmon fishing can have direct costs of anywhere from $40 on the low end, to easily over $200 per day if your running a boat. If one considers opportunity costs, i.e. the chance to work overtime, a day just bank fishing can costs hundreds. If I'm throwing that kind of money around, I want to know that the terminal gear I'm using is reliable in quantifiable terms.



Well, I agree about the cost of a single day of fishing. However I can say that I have never lost a fish to a hook bending . Or a hook breaking.

But I will admit to seeing hooks breaking on snags, hooks bending on snags.

I think if you use gamis or Owners you can't go wrong.

Personally, Vince I think you should take the time you are thinking of spending on this research. And use it to plan a bitcchen fishing trip. Just by gamis or owner hooks for the trip.
