Ok I can see the some of the FOW have Gamakatsu hooks listed. Considering the fact that in my old days of bait fishing I would not use any other brand of hook for trout or panfish I wonder how many of you are using Gamakatsu or any other "premium" hooks for everyday tying. I know that they are more expensive than let's say Mustad but in my humble opinion only Owner makes hooks that are sharper than Gamakatsu - questiond remains does the quality of better hook justify the price. On top of it Gamakatsu hooks stay sharp forever. I remember hooking and landing a rock - hook still stayed sharp.

BTW please do not use your fingers to test the point of Owner hooks. By the time you feel anythig it's too late...

And just to clarify things : I am not affiliated with any hook manufacturer or reseller and I do not own any stock. Just a regular Joe...
