Yeah the ones i got where the 5311's. They are more or less octopus. Look exactly the same.

And i disagree. A sharp hook is needed. Getting that hook to penetrate the jaw and stay in there isnt a job for a weak un-sharp hook. Larger barb and super sharp is what you want and from what i can see and read Owner is the way to go

Gamakatsus are very brittle too. I'm using VMC now and they're great! Very sharp and not too expensive.

Yeah i talked to someone else and they VMC's are goods hooks too. Maybe ill try them as well:eek:

Just found this post and was thinking the same thing about the Gami's. What size 5311's do you use 3/0 or 4/0 and do they hold gulp OK without bait holder?
