I use the mustads bill showed but 7/0, I like em, but they do rust quick!!! (ie dont rig sluggos with them (d'oh)
I used the gami octopus the last two seasons in my skiff, 50lb braid on medium convench gear; fish up to 37lbs, never straightened or broke one.. do they tear easier? maybe... I switched to the gami HD's this spring and found them effective, but more expensive....
A hook is a hook, we all have preferences; I saw if it aint broke dont fix it...
