Ray, your points are all good points. I have thought about the Eagle Claws, and in the past guys who have mentioned using them say that they are good hooks.

I have used Mustads so long, and have so many on hand that there is no turning back, but if I had to start completely over would consider Eagle Claw hooks. Made in the U.S.A. is a good endorsement. I think the quality of stuff made in this country is generally first rate.

No problem with Mustad, and I will continue to use them, but again it is too late for me to turn back. For that reason if I ever run out of 94840s, I will probably look at the new Mustad replacement for the 94840, just to stay consistent.

Again, however, if I were to choose a replacement for my Mustads, it would almost certainly be Eagle Claw.

Regards.
