Ill agree on the price thing...But No way are they sharper and Ive never lost a fish cause the Gammys broke or bent! If your giving the guides the hooks coarse there gonna fish em. Lets tell em they can have either one free! Then lets see which hook they choose! Remember your a salsmen trying to sell your product, A car salesman will tell ya the same line...If thats what it takes to make a sale. MONEY DOSENT MATTER!!! if your consistantly hooking fish. especially 25 cents...
