CA Delta Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Looking to buy #2, #1, 1/0, 2/0, 3/0 treble hooks in bulk. I have found the small packs on-line for $4.99. Does anybody know where I can purchase the bulk packs (25 or 50) for a better price???? Thanks in advance. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrophius Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 I looked around a bit for ya. The only thing I found is the site itself: OWNER HOOKS - Treble Hooks I might be worth a call or email to see if they can modify quantity. Seems some of the higher quantities are 8 - 12.

mark poulson Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 They don't sell Owners. I think you have to go to Owners direct, and have a resale number, to buy direct from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hazmail Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Tim- I have searched the planet for Owner and Gamakatsu hooks and trebles in 50 -100 packs, and the best I could find was packs of ten at around 60-80c each, so have reverted to VMC which can be got anywhere in boxes of 50 - 100. I would like to see a bend/break test on some of these 'trendy' hooks, @ twice the price I bet they are not twice as strong as the old favourites and probably lucky to be 10%, in fact I suspect their strength probably inversely proportional to the publicity they get from the pros etc. Yeah, I'm a sceptic.pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had better luck with mustads and gamagatzus,I can straighten them out and i can bend them back with no issues.. I have VMC's now because they are way easier to get in bulk and so far they have done well on bass for me. I still need to put them through the topwater season for wiper tho8O. If they can pass that then they are good hooks for me8). Thanks, Jacob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Haz, The best freshwater hooks I have found are Gamakatsu 474 round bend trebles. They are very consistent in quality - sticky sharp (much sharper than VMC) and stay that way through considerable abuse. Guys have different opinions about what's important in a treble hook. Some look for thick wire and wide or in-turned gaps to hold fish after they bite. My opinion is let me get a tempered medium wire round bend hook in them securely and I won't have to worry much about all the rest. I use VMC short shank hooks where needed and I like the design of the VMC In-Line trebles. But I almost always use Gamakatsu on the baits I fish. BTW, I do think the VMC 8650 Permasteel saltwater hooks are superior to most brands because they are sharp out of the box. It gripes me to have to sharpen a saltwater hook because I know it will rust instantly after removing the anti-corrosion coating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA Delta Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Thank you all, for your feedback. I have finally made up my mind, I think, no wait, maybe I should, no, I'll just.... All kidding aside, these are great leeds. I picked up some owner ST36 black nickle & they sure look nice on the baits, but again, kinda pricey. The VMC short shank sound like a good deal, to me. Thanks again. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
