Take into account variety of technique specific hooks. Point technology. Availability.

X-Point hooks would be a nice inclusion in a poll.

Voted Gama as that is what I use probably 90% of the time. I do prefer Owner hooks for some styles (I like their circles and wacky hooks for example). I feel both of them are great quality hooks, my choice usually comes down to the design of the hook itself.

I voted Owners as well. I use only Owners and Gamas but if I had to choose, Owners would take my vote. I use more Owners than Gamas.

Lazer Trokar, they're the most expensive so they've got the be the best, right?

Ok, how about this, I read that they're the best on the internet, so it's gotta be true!

Seriously, I voted for Owner, Gamakatsu is a close second for me. I just really like some of the features and hooks owners offers that Gamakatsu doesn't; Owner's Cutting Point, Twistlock hooks, Owner Wacky hooks.

But gamakatsu has it's own specialties too; DS/SS hook, the new flipping hook, etc.

I usually use VMC for trebles because they're inexpensive and still nice and sharp. I pour my jigs on Mustads, but will try some of the newer Owner jig hooks soon.

Used to buy all Gama, now I buy all Owners.

Owners for me, I use some of the mustad trebles though.

Multispecies fisherman here, so I have to go with Mustad Ultra Point hooks.

Mainly becuase of their Big Gun Catfish hooks and their Aberdeen hooks. Then some of their Kahle hooks and beak point hooks. Then their Fly bug hooks and bait hooks. I actually prefer Owners whereever I can.

Owner's are the best in my mind, but I still use my fair share of Gammies.

Owner makes a good hoo. I buy three owner, Gam, and trokar they all work for me. I choice owner because I use them the most out of all three.

I think Owners are the best but I also use Gama's. Actually, I use Gama's more than Owner because I can get them cheaper.

Gama's and Owners for me. Really like the Owner trebles but they will rust when used in saltwater. I use Gama EWG trebles on my saltwater baits.

Gamas & Owners are the best IMO. If they were the same price, I'd probably go mostly Owner, but Gamas are cheaper & on-par or very close, so I buy/use them 90% of the time.
