Location: Madison, WI | I've been using EagleClaw lazer sharp treble hooks. They are extremely sharp right out of the box, but they are fairly expensive and not as strong as some I have seen.
I'm looking for a better option (cheaper, or stronger, or both) and where to purchase to get the best deal.
Thanks for your help,

Location: Freedom, WI | Use the regular 774s not the lazer sharp. The hold a point well (the guys fishing the river in Rapids got me started on them) and fish and strong. Be careful with going to strong as they get thicker and do not penetrate as well. If you go to the Milwaukee Muskie show(decided to get a booth there) stop at my booth and I will sell you some if you want some. |

Location: Land of the Musky | If you like Mustads, I have about 10,000 3/0 round bend (Whats on a Weagle) and 6/0 3551 hooks (lot of larger baits or double 10 bucktails). I am selling them at the price I bought them in bulk at 3 years ago which is about 45% less than you will get them in a tackle shop today. All I ask is that you get 100 or more. Also have the #5 adn #7 super strong rings (Joe Bucher)/Worth brand. [email protected] Lots of the smaller bait companies in 2009 bought from me. |

| Right on the money h2os2t. The 774s are a much stronger, heavier hook, but I still love the Lasersharps because of the sharpness and better hooking. I use both of them, many times to balance a glider just because of their weight. I have never straightened one out, and if I do you may all kick me in the buttocks. I love the LSharps. They are my number 1 choice. If I must change, I go to the heavier ones.
I bought a bunch of hooks from the Eagle Claw Company Store a few years ago. I don't know if they still have it, but you can find deals on there once in a while.
If I may add....hooks is the one place that you should put up your money and buy the best that you can get, or the ones that you like the most. Don't scrimp on hooks.

Location: Minnesota | My favorite hook is still the lazer sharp. I have been using them on my lures for over 10 years now and the only hook that was bent up did so in the net when the fish was thrashing in the net and the hook stuck in the netting. Other than that hook, I have never straightened a hook on a lazer sharp. They are strong enough. Bigger isn't better in my opinion. |
