Location: Colgate, WI | Want to tie up some leaders for next season and wanted to know what options people use for hooks. I usually use #2 or #4 Gammy bait hooks.
Thanks

| Craig, I love the Owner hooks. I get mine from Sportsmans in Depere. You can buy a pro pack for aroung $7.00 on sale for either red or silver. I've switched every harness I make for bago or the bay to Owner hooks. Dominic |

| Owners are wicked sharp! But for years, I only used the Gamigatzu #2 Walleye hooks. Something about the Owners don't seem right. More lost fish, I think. But I can't confirm for sure.
Last year, on the advice of a co-angler, I started experimenting with circle hooks on my harnesses. I don't know the hook number right now, but I do know that I never lost a fish. Probably like 25 for 25, from 3 to 11 pounds. I'll run more circle hooks spinner rigs next year. |

| I've used Diachi #2's in the past. I switched and used gammys and cabelas. Ended up going back to Diachi. The don't rust AND I can sharpen them to a very sticky point. I used to waste my money on the blood hooks. After 6 years of tourney fishing I personally found they don't make a difference.
Happy tying!
ps, I better start as well. I usually go through 100 harness rigs or more a year. |

Location: Port Washington, wisconsin | I'll stick to Owners as well. They go thru skin quite well too, as I found out on the bay last year. |
