i use eagle claw lazer sharp offset 3/0 hooks and they work great.for $4, you can get 25 of them compared to 10 gammys.i have used gammys but i like the lazer sharps because not only are they cheap,they are heavy wire and very sharp!

I use a varitey of hooks, I do like Owner's (pricy), and Gamakatsu's, and I also have found a brand called texposer that is sorta rectangular, they work well too. Recently, I have used some Excaliber hooks and I like them too. I usually use 1/0 thru 3/0 for just about all my plastic baits. Most of the time I use EWG, but now and then I'll use a standard offset. Another hook I use sometimes is from Ultra Point.

Same here. For bulky baits like a Super Hog, Brush Hog, or Sweet Beaver I use an EWG hook but for worms I use a Tru-Turn. For weightless baits-flukes, Tiki Sticks, etc. I use a offset shank worm hook.

EWG, Gammy SUperline or Owner, anywhere from a "Drop Shot" hook to a 5/0 I vary it depending on weight, fall rate, and bait size. And you can take that to the bank lol.

man i must be using big hooks... for anything over 6" (Power Worms 7", large senkos 7") i use a 5/0 ewg hook! I think i get much better hook up ratios... espicially during the spawn!
