Here is a little Midwest Intervention.

Like to use both. In heavier flows, I like a normal wire hook,but when our water gets low, I like a fine wire that is extra strong. have to use a fine wire if you are going to jack on metalheads with a 12 foot noodle rod and 4 pound test.

At one time, Eagle claw made a style 37 hook. They have since discontinued production. This was a fine wire, fish catchin son of a buck. I cried when they quit making them. I have called on many occasions, and say they need a 10,000 hook minimum order. Nice thing was if the fishing was slow, you could pull cars out of the ditch with them. They were strong, and had a bite that wouldn't quit. Can you tell that I liked them?

I like nickel hooks. Most of the time, we are trying to leave things as small and natural as we can with our fish. Use mostly size 4' and 6's, with 8's on very low flows for steelhead. Only use 2's on chinny's and 1's or bigger when I fish for your brutes. All of the hooks I use now are either Gammy's Octopus or Mustad 92141. In rivers with lots of limestone bedrock (Minnesota, Ontario,Wisconsin) I use the Mustads, because it's nothing to lose 60 or 70 hooks in a day. Use the gammy's over in Michigan on the rivers where there is plenty of gravel.

If you could make a sharp, light wire, extra strong hook, you would have it made.

I will give your hooks a try, if you want another opinion. Maybe they would fit a niche out here for guys fishing bedrock rivers who want to split the difference between gammy's and mustad. There may be a market for these hooks for walleyes, in a fine wire. Lots of walleye fishermen here, who use fine wire hooks to avoid bait damage on crawlers and leeches. Oh well, just my $.02
