What type of hooks do you prefer for replacement hooks? I used to use the Mustad Round Bends, but they stopped carrying them by me (either that or out of stock).

I take along 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, 4/0 and 5/0 Eagle Claw 2X Laser sharps. I made that switch 2 years ago and haven't regetted it.

Stamina, moores and hagens have them. The mustads are my hook of choice. I won't use extra strong hooks anymore, they are too hard to cut if you have a bad angle around the gill area. The mustads hook up really well too.

I like the eagle claw hooks with the curved barb but sharpening them is quite a major pain.
