[QUOTE="gnappi, post: 462384, member: 22374"] I've been using Eagle Claw Lazer Sharp 3/0 and 4/0 hooks for many years, most recently on my frogs and this past week lost a nice snakehead because the hook bent... the first time in my life this happened. A buddy swears by the fairly expensive Beast ($4.00 each) hooks, but I was thinking of Gamakatsu or Mustad Ultra Point Mega-Bite in 4/0 which are both more palatable price wise. I'm not one to put a $3.00 frog on a $4.00 hook and in the dense stuff we fish in and lose one or two a day. So, anyone have experience with tough fish and the Gamakatsu and Mustad hooks above? Any other suggestions? [/QUOTE]
