Anyone given them a try yet? They are made in the same factory as owners and are cheap like borche. The points on them are like razors and dont get dull. Highly recommend trying them out if you haven't. I've straightened out lots of gammys this year in early Coho season and have yet to have a problem with DNE's.
-
What is the price ??thanks
-
:D ive used these hooks and you are right great hook and they do stay sharp 8) also none have been straightened out yet ??? give em a try
-
Never heard of them. Who carries them ?
-

Yah what is the deal with the gammies anything but the red ones just straighten out on any rock. Eagle claw seem to work the best for me but they also have a problem on the bend of the just before the shafts they have some kinda weak spot. I had a huge spring on broke it of there. Tried to pinch the barb one time and broke in the exact same place.

EAGLE CLAW LOLOLOL those are the worst yet theyre not even sharp. Visions hooks are good too
-
I like Eagle Claws, they're cheaper and easier to sharpen. Caught lots of salmon and steelheads on those.
-
I like Eagles Claws "Barbless Steelhead" hooks. their cheap, and sharp enough. ive caught lotsa salmon on them so far since i tried them last month. I also tried the new Owner hooks. Super sharp and dont even seem to bend. VERY EXPENSIVE THOUGH$$$
-
Visions rule!! ;D
-
I've tried the Vision hooks when they came on the market. Very poor quality control in my opinion. Alot of the hooks were defective. Haven't used them since.
-
Eagle claw r awsome for there price....Im using vision now just because my dad got a good deal on them, Both hooks work for me
DaN
-
Visions rule!! ;D
yup thats the only hook i use now

Last time i checked they were maybe you should take one and try it on your finger. ;)

I have confidence in Gami's. you will never see me use a Eagle Claw. Visions are definatly strong hooks but for sharpness they just don't make it for me. Owners are amazing but $$$$$ even for me. The DNE look good, but i have not yet used them. If TroutSlayer can land a fish with them that says alot cuz he never lands anything. ;D
-
I find eagle claw hook are too heavy a gauge of wire...the heavier the gauge the harder it is to get them to penetrate and I dont find they are very sharp to start out with.
I chinced out and bought Visons for a season....found they had poor quality control but a new pristine hook was comparable to gami (sharpness and strength).
I got 5 buds got together and we bought 4000 gamis and got them for dirt cheap so its obvious what I fish now!
-
I like vision great price point. Also I think they are a step between eagle claw and gammy. But then again I alsouse mustad great hooks. Got a huge amount at wally world 75 cents a pack
-
I was given a couple samples of DNE size 6 hooks from "Gone Fishin" store. They're razor sharp and are comparable to gammies, but are cheaper in price. I believe Rob said it was $2.79 for a pack of 8? Don't quote me on that tho. I'll be using it tomorrow and hopefully hook on a fish so i can see how good they really are :)
-
So is DNE comparable to Vision in price? The smaller size Visions (size 1 & down) are quite good hooks, sharp and with strong shank. Perhaps I luck out in the batch I bought (500/box). I have Gammies for larger sizes, 2/o & up for the big gooey bobs (size 5) that I use for steelies in rapids. They are all good hooks.
-
WOW 400 Gammys I go through probably 150 hooks a year.Except this year it may go up because of the day on the cap with coho kid. ;D
yeah haha what did u lose like 30 gammys, i like visons size 1s for coho/steel and freds hooks size 1s as well.
-
landed my first coho of the year on a DNE sz1. DNE are the same price as gammis for a pack. but i think you get 2 more hooks.
-
is there a website where people can take a boo at these hooks? where are they made?
thanks.
