g point gamakatsu ?

Certainly not Gamakatsu G-points - I know for sure because I was using some today (they've been discontinued anyway unfortunately). I don't think I've evre seen a hook with a side-on eye like that - most are 90 degrees to the bend in the hook. They look to have a slightly curved-in point like a semi-circle, and possibly a slight kirby bend (but it's a bit hard to tell for sure from the photo). Couldn't thell you what make they are though, unfortunately.

I agree they look like commercial longline hooks, they often have eyes like that for going through hauler or fish stripper, also the heavy gauge of them.
