I've been using TMC 2457 in the past, but have slowly been switching to Mustad C068. I haven't had any carp straighten one out yet. The Mustad hook is offset, if you can live with that. I've been trying it because of the price; $3.45 vs $9.25 for a pack of 25. Hooked one the other day on the Mustad, #12, but lost it. More than likely it was all me; lost sight of fly in muddy creek, and just felt the tug, a jump, and got off.
