What hooks do you use ( bay/ estuary )

[Lucky_Phill]

The same as above.

I'd also like to know why you choose the hooks you do ?

Mustad, but I also have some cheapies from ebay i use in the bay for bream flathead squire etc. They work fine, never broken on me or snapped off. Wouldnt use them on bigger stuff though.

Mustad demon finewire for bream, penetrators fo other species, larger size demon finewire for snapper and other reefies.
Cheap, fine gauge, sharp, have served me very well.
Cheers.

mustard, always have and probably always will, they have the experience adn quality, ive seen other hooks bend in normal fishing circumstances but never a mustard, and the chem sharpened ones take alot of punishment and hold their own, barely ever rust IMO

[juju]

Mustard Chem sharpend ones...all the time

[tunaticer]

Probably owner as the most popular for me currently but i do have about ten different breeds and 50 different styles and keep going with sizes in my box.
It is entirely discerned by the style of fishing and the species and location as to what i reach for tho.

[krazyfisher]

mostly tru turn or vmc
stay sharp longer ,dont rust and I have not had one break yet

[tobig]

black magic the best

[land-lubber]

mustad allround longshanks for a lot of my work, if im after a suicide etc whatever ive got in my tackle box of leftovers from stocktake ;) 48 cm of jack on no. 4 longshank sums it up nicely :)

[dogsbody]

Gamakatsu circle hooks for me.

Dave.

[nuggstar]

owners/cultiva or gamagatsu r the go 4 my bream and bass lureing (anything from japan) and vmc's 4 my gt popping

[kingtin]

Gamakatsu Occys for single hook rigs (strong and stay sharp) and mustads for whiting and ganging (easily available in many sizes) if somewhat soft in the smaller sizes.

Gamatsu whever possible.

I use ganged hooks with pillies a lot and the Gamatsu Gangsters are a thinner sharper smoother hook than the equivalent Mustad and they penetrate the bait and the target fish very easily.

They are a far more expensive hook than the Mustads but I reckon that I would rather spend my $ on the business end of the end-to-end relationship that I have with the fish than on, say, a flash rod at my end. :D

[imnotoriginal]

Eagle claw, vmc and gamakatsu are what normally buy, though I'll use some of the mustads too. I love the gamakatsus for sharpness strong thin guage hooks. The eagle claw and mustad long shanks are great for whiting and for thicker, stronger hooks I use the vmcs.

[webby]

My favourites;D

[Feral]

Mustads good reputation, good value, easily obtainable from Kmart / Big W where hooks prices are about 1/2 that in tackle shops.

[finga]

Anything that's in the tackle box. ::)

Hey Phil...you don't know where I can get some VMC 2/0's do ya?? :-X

[the gecko]

You know you can add Gamakatsu to the poll, even after youve started a poll?

I only use Gamma octopus circle. They stay sharp. I buy em off ebay by the 100 cos I go thru a few.

cheers

[bushbeachboy]

Mustad MT Points in Kirby are my favourite for the moment.

[CHRIS aka GWH]

it'd be far easier to ask "what hooks don't u buy?"

chris

[wags on the water]

I use the Mustad chem sharpened long shank hook for whiting, Mustad 4/0,5/0 for ganging and Owner trebles on the lures.

[catfish55]

[sharkbaithoohaha]

Mustad Demon for me,as I love they way they hookup,nice and strong and sharp.I use 70's for my Threadies and 2-3o's for bream and squire.Cheers.

[clone trooper]
