#11995, "RE: Hooks for 9 and 12 inch slammer?"
In response to In response to 14


          

I like to look at it like this. A super sharp thin wired hook buried to the bone is less likely to straighten out than a thick wired hook that barely gets past the barb. It is all about leverage.

Also a hook with a super wide gap is going to straighten out easier than one with a smaller gap. I think that is why the 1/0 st56 is such a nice hook. I just wish owner would make the shanks longer on the both the ST56 and ST36 (length between the eye and the bend of their trebbles). They are too short in my opinion.

I really liked the Gami Magic eyes for this reason, however they don't hold up well to stripers and braid.

On the plugs that I am making, I have been using VMC permasteel 4x and I feel they are a nice trade off between strength, wire thickness, sharpness, and durability.
