Guys I have been thinking bout some things lately and one that keeps coming to mind is, are Gamies really worth the 24.99 per 100 that you are paying? I mean sure I am a firm Gamie beleiver and probably always will be but, if I gave you a dozen VMC octopus's red in color and a dozen Gamakatsu Octopus's red in color, both size 2 and let you fish with them for an outting, how many of you honestly could tell them apart from one another. I have used VMC's in the past and use them quite often, and have been very satisfied, but is there really something behind the .24 a hook that Gamakatsu's carry? I am just curious if the extra money I am paying is because it costs more to print Gamakatsu on a package then it does to print VMC... just a thought... Eric W. how did you do on the Zipperlip that you were fishing this weekend? we boated 2. I got Nik Miller into his first ever steely, bout half way down the river... 12 pound hen, chromer! call me and we can talk bout it.
