You definitely need to match your tackle to your approach, but you can't consider anything that doesn't meet your application, inferior. As I said earlier, I have yet to have any issues with the Mustad Ultra- Point so I have no reason to doubt it.
The bigger fish get a little more love and attention. You can comment however you like on my inadequate approach to fishing but the fact is better tackle gives you the ability to make more mistakes. That was the point. IMO If you hook your dream fish with that hook you deserve to lose it. What happens when you have a super cow in a rip and it's just taking line and you need to stop it. Have fun stopping it with that POS hook. You might say that doesn't meet the application but I don't want to have to differentiate when I can and can't bring the sh%tty hooks. I'd like to think I can count on them in just about any instance.
