Thanks!

I like the straight point hooks better. Hooking percentage seems better to me and i can resharpen them more...

Straight, easier to sharpen and i just feel that they should hook better.

Brad,

I prefer the straight point hooks also because they are easier to sharpen. Cone cut hooks are my favorites. The curved point hooks seem to open up easier as well.
