I will give ya one reason why to use the Partridge hooks...the gap of the hook and the way the hook is half submerged into the water is very important. If you use a different hook it will work but you will miss a lot of hook ups becuase the gap is too small. BTW I looked at the new Klinkhamer Hook (15BN) and it is only $4.75.
