Hooks for plastics

[berfish]

I have had a hard time finding hooks that are tough enough to handle my hooksets. I use braided line so I know I don't need a samari sword weilding hookset but my hook still bends out on a two pound fish when I scale my set back. I usually use Gamakatsu hooks. I like a strong but not too big of a hook. Anyone find a brand of hook that is strong for its size? Any info would be appreciated.

My best luck has been Owner hooks. I prefer th XX wide Gap "Round Bend" hooks

they make hooks designed for braid line. I suggest you find some. Gammie I believe makes them.. i think they are called offset superline hooks....

Ironmike-

The wicks are always on fish.. they are good hooks. However, with the weather we have right now, I would be too confident of any pattern that I found fish to be using... Its going to change between today and saturday... thats for sure!
