I see All's point (pun completely intended
![]() I guess it would be like comparing getting stabbed with a sword, which has edges, and a rapier, which just has a conical point. I can see the sword would tend to slice the flesh as it goes in, whereas the rapier just pierces and makes a hole slightly smaller than its diameter. I just see the rapier-like hook point as being difficult to reproduce for the fisherman who doesn't have a machine shop in his bass boat. I don't know...maybe it can be done in an easy way.

I have seen the points get rough, but not bent. I really don't plan on testing them anymore in the future because of the cost. I have enough experience with the cutting point by Owner to know that the faceted point is less then ideal. In general I have had very good luck with Gamakatsu and the Owner needle point hooks.

Good analogy nofear. A well produced conical point will penetrate with the least interruption, but is more difficult to manufacture and that is why only the premium hook manufactures use this design. If you were to examine a Gama or Owner before they were prepped/honed by electro polishing they would be as sharp or sharper then the Trokars. The hooks sharpness is reduced slightly using this controlled process to yield a point that matches the hooks general magnitude and intended use. If your punchin with 20-25# FC or 50-65 braid you do not need the same point that a DS hook requires. Quote:
