We have been doing pretty good. A good number of 5-7# fish and a few bigger. Saw an 11+ taken recently.
As for hooks....I think I found a replacement!!! Check out the NEW (this year) Owner hook....Owner makes something called a "K-hook" model 5173-151 in large sizes. I picked up some 5/0's and ordered some 6 and 7/0's to check out. They are the classic kahale wide gap style and have a staight eye. I have always snelled my own with the bent eye but these look really nice. Very strong and VERY sharp. They have that smooth black chrome finish.
The only problem I have with the SS mustads is the thin wire. They bend all out of shape when either a dogfish or pliers come in contact with them . You have to be gentle with them. The VMC's were the strongest and most cost effective and you could get them in packs of 25 but no one has them anymore.
I will be fishing with these owners this weekend for the first time. They look great and they are about 2.50 for 5 hooks....not too bad.
