Well I finally ordered some Trokar hooks, just got them in the mail today. I was a little skeptical of these due to the huge amount of hype Eagle Claw created at ICAST this year. I have been pretty brand loyal (as they say in marketing classes) to Gamakatsu for years. But after hearing some positive things from people I know, I had to get some. The price is pretty steep at $9.99 for just five of them, but I hear they are worth every penny. These things are scary sharp. I kept reading how they are surgically precise suture needles. That sounded pretty cool to me. My friends say the best part about these hooks is that they last for a long time and don't seem to get dull like other brands. This weekend I'll be fishing a club tournament on Lake Istokopoga and you can bet I'll have them tied on...please god don't let me lose one of these $2 hooks.

This is a bandwagon I won't be jumping on. I am not exactly anal when it comes to hook sharpness.
How did the hooks perform?
I have mixed feelings on the hooks. I started off great with them and was hooking fish great with them. Some of them were hooked so deep it was almost hard to get the hook out. I mean deep into the hard parts of the mouth. I have found that the hook points seem to get a little easily after a few fish.
