I bought some H2O 2/0 offset bend hooks the other day and the first one bent like a wet noodle on a 2.5lb choupique. Haven't tied on another one since.

I need some more 1/0 hooks for a small plastic crawfish i fish in heavy cover, and i'm concerned about my eagle-claws bending if i hang into a big fish. What manufacturer has the strongest hooks?

Owner. The only exception is for shorter baits where I use Gamakatsu Super Line hooks.

Gamakatsu, but have been thinking about trying out Trokar because of good reviews from them.

Caught a bunch on sale at academy a few weeks back, I think $6 for 6, could be wrong though...

Went to #1's this year. Getting tired of offset hooks, went to just plain jane's straight shaft. Bought some sort of twisted shaft by mistake, they suck.
