O.K. ...nobody yell at me...but I use VMC treblehooks and Ive never had a problem. They seem sharp(i file everything anyway)and I can't recall them ever bending out. Don't care much for their single hooks because of the style (shank seems too long for the amount of gap). But most of all, I can spell the name when someone asks me what brand I use...V M C ya, thats it, VMC! Gami caps shoe...Gami cats chew... Gami..is that you? Naw, I can afford the expensive stingers. I just can't take the embarrassment of mis pronounciation.....pro nun see ay tion?
