Gamies are the best but I don't feel they are worth the money. I have used Mustad 92553 number 4s and 2s for 12 years and have had very good success. In the past 6 years or so they were called Accu Points and came in red but they may be under a new name now but they are still Mustad 92553. These hooks are very sharp and although they do dull quicker than a Gamakatsu they sharpen much easier. I don't feel my fishing has been compromised by using these hooks that are one third the price of the designer hooks. And I have caught enough large steelhead on #4 92553s to make believers out of most the people I fish with. Just my .07 cents worth not my .24 cents worth.
