I haven't tried those hooks yet, but I have been meaning to. I have been too lazy to look for them, to be honest--the local fly shop doesn't carry them.

I started using the mustad hook for gurglers a few years back, and my hooked fish ratio went way up. It especially does a good job on those small river sunfish that tend to get foul hooked a lot. The offset shank sometimes is a problem, but I like them a lot otherwise. I will give the jig hooks a try as well.
