Well, I am cheaper than cheap and for my own tying I use Mustad and purchase them by the 100's. I have used and still have some Dai Riki hooks and find no problem with them, but, the price of 50 Dai Riki is pretty close to the price of 100 Mustad. I think the Mustad hooks hold their sharp points better than the Dai Riki, but, that is my own opinion only.

I really like the Mustad hooks and will continue to purchase them for my use. You purchase and use whatever works for you.

Now let's go fishing!!
