I've tried every hook out there from "J" hooks to live bait hooks to circle hooks.

One week when we catch 10 in a row, and thought we found our perfect hook only to throw all the other brands over the side. Next week we pull 5, break 3 and straighten 2. Once again the search for the perfect hook continues.

In my opinion, there is no perfect hook, one is not better than the other from my observation. Every hook has it's good streaks and it's bad streaks. You just don't know what is in your deck of cards when the rod laps over and you can just hope it stays in and does it's job.

With all that said, certain hooks are better for certain baits and that's what we go by now. A live bait will get a live bait hook for the best presentation and a chunk will get a bigger circle hook or "J" hook.

Everyone has their favorite hook, for us we like and dislike them all.
