I have used the VMC's for about a year now and have found that they are soft. The points are soft and so is the shank. I have been hung up on the bottom and found that when my rigging pulled loose the hooks were bent, bad, and this with 10# leader. I have not had the same results thusfar with the Gamis, and they are sharper out of the package. I liked the VMCs, until I finally decided that they were costing me fish.
Hey Marty, what kind (model) of mustads are you using? I'd like to try some as Gamis are rather expensive.
