I mostly use Gamakatsu, but I've been using some Owner and some Youvella or mahatchii or whatever they're calling them now recently.

Gamakatsu for me, but thats because we have found a lot of them on sale at BPS and when Sportsmans Warehouse closed near us. I have used others before and liked them just fine.

95% Owner and some Gamkatsu. I think they hold there edge better and do no bend as easy.

If there is not a sale going on, then always owner. Some Gami's if the price is right.

well dang...3 ppl other than me said they used owner...but there are only 3 votes for owner(one of them is mine) something doesnt quite add up there lol
i made the switch to owner about 6 months ago and try not to fish with anything else. but since i have to order them to get the kind i want around here, i sometimes get stuck using gammys. i try to avoiding using gammys because i have notice they bend pretty easy...i have never had a problem with owner hooks bending.

What is all of this talk about hooks bending? I imagine any hook I use could support a 20 lb weight hung from it without being permanently bent. That's more force than any bass is ever going to put on it. Why would you want more? And more importantly, why would you be willing to pay more for an over-engineered hook?

I have personally never had a problem with hooks bending on fish... while snagged is another story, but never on fish.
I've used gammy, mustad, owner, and mihatchii. BB

Is a bent hook worse than a cut off hook stuck in a tree stump?

I was just wondering at what point in the snag process you were bending them, spro. I just don't tend to pull on snags hard enough to bend the hook, for fear of breaking the line. It makes sense now, though I have to say I have never pulled back a bent hook.

Right. All I'm saying is...would you rather it didn't bend, and broke off? Same difference, you're out one hook.
If it was stuck in the piling, do you really think you could have pulled it out if it didn't bend? I'm just asking you to think critically about it. This is kind of like people complaining about their seat belt hurting them in a car crash. Do you think you would have been better off without the seat belt?

I've bent EWG Gammys frog fishing in lily pads. I was trying to horse a fish out of the slop, but all I ended up with is 5 pounds of salad and a hook that was bent probably 30 degrees from straight. After that, I started using the EWG Superline Gammys and haven't had that problem.
