I am surprised I there hasnt been any votes for Gamakatsus (Gammas) yet...they are by far the best hook on the market!! They are the most expensive but if you buy them in 25 packs they arent that much more expensive and they are undoubtely worth it.
For winter brats I usually fish a size 2 or 1 in nickel, for the nates I fish a 1/O or 2/O, depending upon the bobber and bait I am fishing. For summer runs, I fish n.s. black from a size four all the way down to a size 8.
I only fish their jig hooks. I fish the heave wire from either a 3/O all the way up to a size 6, all depending on the time of year and the type of jig I am fishing.
I just recently started fishing their hooks for tying bugs and Ill never go back to Teimco, considering they are a whole lot sharper and about the same price.
