VMC is a good hook ***for*** the $. They are actually pretty inexpensive. If you buy a lot of hooks (or build a lot of plugs with hooks) I think vmc's are probably justified. I think most of you guys that sell plugs should just skip adding hooks...let the end user put the hook of choice on there...after all this is a custome plug. VMC's are pretty sharp but I grant you Gamu's and Owners are sharper. Also the Gamu's have a slicker coating on them. I am guesing but the VMC's were probably permasteel.

That Gamu live bait hook is T H I C K isn't it? If you straighen that you need to get off those steroids. Most of the hooks I use are owners now. To me they offer strong sharp hooks and are more rust resistant then vmc but less in cost then gamus. Unfort. it is hard to find owners (and gamu's) in bulk. VMC it is easy to buy in bulk.
