Have any of you guys had any experience with Owner Jobu Big game hooks?? Description from Owners website to follow.....
Ideal for trolling and Chunking, these hooks are built to tackle the biggest meanest fish in any ocean. Big game trolling enthusiasts will find these hooks ideal for custom rigging large baits and skirted lures. Those targeting huge tuna can rig them with big chunk baits. Features include an extra-heavy, XXX-strong forged shank, a deep throat bend, Cutting Point® and anti-corrosion black chrome finish
We are thinking of using these hooks on all of our offshore trolling rigs. Last year we lost a lot of fish and I think it may have been caused by dull hooks. Tons of knockdowns but the hook did not seem to stick. These hooks from what I have heard are very sharp and hold their edge for a long time. But 4 size 8/0 hooks have a msrp of 18.00 which is quite pricey. I have seen them considerably cheaper but if you guys have any suggestions for a bulk buy of say 50 hooks let me know.
**** Edit***** Also if you guys have no experience with these hooks please share what kind of hooks you have had good success with. My mind is not dead set on these hooks although I am leaning toward them, since I hear they really hold their edge season after season.
