TEST FOR YOURSELF (oh, I'm talking trout hooks):
1. Take a Mustad and a competitors 'equivelant', say about size 12(or any).
2. Take a 2 foot length of 10# mono.
3. Knot each end of the mono to each of the hooks.
4. Bury the point of each hook about 2 inches from each other and at the same angle into a piece of wood, say a 2 x 4, a window sill or a counter top.
5. Grip the mono in the middle so that you can apply the same pulling power to each hook at the same time.
6. Begin to exert pulling power to the mono. Keep adding power until one of the hooks begins to straighten or one breaks.
See the results for yourself.
