DUO Realis hooks?

[Randingo]

Does anyone know what hooks Duo Realis is using, particularly on their vibration bait and 120 SP jerkbait? I just bought a couple, and they are wickedly sharp. They're kind of an O'Shaugnessy shape and seem to have a light grey coating, which leads me to suspect that they're the Aaron Martens Gamakatsu trebles. I have to check my other Realis lures to see if they're sporting the same hooks, but I suspect this is a recent change. Whatever they are, I'd definitely like to get my hands on more.

A pro-staffer told me that they produce their own hooks in house.

All of their jerkbaits use a #5 Owner hook, and I believe most of the other baits in the line use Owner as well. The pro staff guy may be getting "proprietary" mixed up with "in-house", as the hooks my be made by Owner specifically for Duo. I read a jerkbait review on this website along with 3 or 4 different magazine articles about different baits in their line up and every one I read stated Owner hooks were what is used.

If they are indeed Owner then it is mostly likely special made for DUO. I have just about every treble models they make, including ones that are only sold in Japanese market and they are nothing like the ones on DUO lures.

I also use the O'shaun Gamakatsu Martens hooks and noticed my Duo baits have similar hooks on them.

All incorrect. DUO use Kishida hooks.
This is the answer from Duo Sales manager

"As for the hooks the Realis baits use Kishida hooks, a Japanese brand of hooks which focuses mainly on OEM production(do not promote their own brand, just supply lure manufacturers)"

A fish bent my front treble out on my 120, so this is good info
