coops_northants Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Used them and think they are very good hooks. Some of the sample patterns were very good but i have not seen them for sale but the quality of them is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 ive got some from my local shop cant knock them but the shiny finish puts me off one thing i will say is that they stay mega sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I've played with them in Bench Tests and had no problems so far, but have not used them for fishing. They do stay sharp for a good long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coops_northants Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I dont mind the shiny finish, can help with hoking as the sides are ultra smooth less resistance. I know it wont be a huge amount of difference but with the sharp point works well. Tested a wide gape against a similar E.S.P pattern and the point on the Mustad was far superior although did drop a couple takes more.....

Guest reizend Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 used them all year and with hand on hart this has been my best year. It would take one hell of a hook for me to change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reizend Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Strange I've just tried 3 of different sizes and they have all snapped before bending. However try doing it to a korda. Worth 50p a pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
