Just thought I would post this as there seems to be more + more cheap hooks on the Internet I myself use sakuma hooks for most of my fishing the reason I use them is they give me A very sharp hook and bait presentation is great hook ups on large worm baits is far superior to other hook patterns I have used I have tried kamasan hooks but always go back to sakumas what is your favorite hooks + why the only problem I have found with sakuma is they are very sharp but can soon get blunt on the points if you catch them on rocks but this happens with most hooks

I have to admit i use cheap hooks on all my scratching rigs when just general fishing and have had no problems with them. but fishing for cod or bass i use kamasan. and only ever use them for one session then bin them and replace the snoods for the next session.
