          Use varivus big mouths which I believe are the same hook ? They have been fine upto now. A good hook which I used to use were kamasan uptides and gamakatsu.

          Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.

              Never had a problem with sakumas myself but have recently changed to varivas big mouth as they are exactly the same hook as sakuma but much cheaper

                ive had a load of sakuma 540 mantas snap on me,right at the bottom of the shaft,but had no problems with the manta extra 545s,the sakuma pennel hooks snap aswell,but the mustad Viking pennel just bends out of snags

                  I've used these with no bother , cheap and reliable , lifted a 6.5lb cod up Roker with one .
                  I am a fisherman !
                  It is not merely something that I do
                  It is who I am !
                  Fishing is not simply my escape.
                  It is where I am supposed to be.
                  It is not a place that I go
                  But a lifelong journey that I am taking
                  It is a passage that was shown to me and that I will continue to show others.
                  When you understand all of this you will then know me .
                  And we will fish together

                      well never faulted mantas, I mean some of the extras strong as.

                      do blunt easy but hey- all the chemical hooks do.

                      lost a fish this year which had a head like a football, could of blamed the hook, but to be honest didn't have a chance as it was just half lipped.

                      I have been impressed with some of the offset hooks on the market which actually catch the side of the cods gob. get one hell hold. only down side is once there in a snag, say bye bye to shocker

                      never tried the power worms mind have to say
