    Usually I get Mustad's, they are tough, sharp and at a pretty good price. But If Im doing well for cash I'll go out and get some Gamakatsu's. Might be a little (or alot) dearer then other brands, but they've got all the attributes Mustad have, but 10 times better.

    for offshore i like Owner 7/0 circles but at 1.50 per hook the wallet doesn't like them at all !!!!Still when you add up the total cost of a fishing trip why not use hooks that you have confidence in!
    Alcohol doesn't agree with me, but i sure do enjoy the argument!!!

    Owners seem to be much cheaper and a larger range online, probably the best. Otherwise Gamakatsu, and Mustard you can get at K-mart and Big W.

    Like JJ said, I use gamakatsu. Always used mustad till I gave gammys a go and I'm surprised at just how good they are...strong, sharp, and keep their edge with little or no rusting. After half a dozen trips they can still prick into a nail without being sharpened up.......I'm totally converted having seen how even a size 8 can hold a 3 metre noah.

    They've just put a size 5 ganging hook into a certain mart that shall go un-named and at 17bucks for 50 they must either be priced up wrong (same size octupus is 30 bucks) or not be in the same class as the other models. I did notice when closing the eyes that they closed very easily so I hope this is not a "soft spot".

    I'll take some convincing that there's a beter hook on the market than gamakatsu.

    I've found little difference between the two at my local tackle shop, but that probably means he is just stiffing me for the mustads!

    Offshore I use 7/0 or 8/0 Gamakatsu circles. Could go smaller, but if a fish cannot get there mouth around that size, I don't want it anyway Have tried owner and they were good also.

    In the bay I use Mustad light guage usually.
