Interesting thread James....I was going to post the same thing not long ago...knowing that you and seems like everyone else uses the Gamagatsu octopus hooks and I use the VMC live bait hook, I've always wondered if I was doing something wrong....I've just never really had any problems with them so I've stuck to it

I like the Mustad 9175 6/0 Short Shank Live bait. I believe it is the one with the straight point. I think they hook up better than the one with the curved point....
Of course they need sharpening...

Same here. They're still your best bang for the buck at about 10-12 cents per hook if you buy them by the 100 count. |

Me too. Plus, I don't want to have to stop and think about how to set a hook at 3 AM.
And they still hardly even come unbuttoned with J-hooks, when there's an eel attached to one. |
