psilvers Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I am thinking of putting some VMC hooks on some of my lures. What has been your experience with VMC hook quality? Is it as good as Gamakatsu or Mustad? Thanks, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsinyard Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 I use the VMC hooks on my spinnerbaits and I have never had any problems with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOdowd Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 I have a lot of VMC hooks they are a good quality hook, but I like my Gamakatsu hooks bertter. I think it is a confidence thing I never loose fish on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dog Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I use VMCs standard on my salmon spinners (30-40lb fall chinooks not uncommon) with Owners avail as upgrades. I think either are great, VMCs sharpened with a file will hold up real good and you can re-sharpen them. While in my experience Gami's and Owners cant really be sharpened because the steel is so hard. VMCs are probably 1/3 the cost of either also......but I still think they are a quality hook. Better than Eagle Claw or Mustad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psilvers Posted April 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Thanks for the input. I think I will try some of the VMC's when I can't get a Gamakatsu to fit my mold. BTW, a buddy of mine used to jokingly call the Gamakatsu "C'mon I gotcha" hooks! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky_Stalker Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 VMC make good hooks, but Owners are the best! Sharpest and hold better than anything out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
