Owner or Gamakatsu???????

I am currently thinking of switching to a different brand of hooks. I am currently using Gamakatsu and am satisfied but thinking may be it's time for change. If there is anything you have is a better product please let me know.

Mustad Demon Offset for Circles.

I use owners only. Gorillas or circles. They're sharper than Gama's or other circles. I think they are a bit thicker as well. Gorillas with a slider sinker set up for YT or WSB. Circles with a 3 way swivel and a trap rig for Halibut. Bounce balling. Hook sets itself.

I like hayabusa hooks. Simply because they have worked for me in the past.

I use whatever is in Cooter's tackle box.

YUP. I've seen more fish lost with Owner Flyliners than I've seen landed. That tiny little barb doesn't hold worth a shit. The Gorilla's seem way too big for their size, talk about slowing your bait down when flylining, and tuna fishing is all about bait presentation. There's a reason landing/boats have been using Mustad bronze hooks for decades...they work very well, and are very affordable. Gamakatsu for freshwater type stuff.
