I once read a post from Al B. where he said the best hook was the XX version of the Mustad, which I have never been able to find. I guess there was a limited run at one time.

I don't like the Gamis because they rust. I've actually had them rust during a fishing trip. They're also very soft - the easiest open eye to close.

Which leaves the Mustad XXX for me. The 7/0 is actually not to thick, but I use 9/0 for rigged eels and they are made from extremely heavy wire. I think it's safe to say they aren't going to break over a striped bass.
