If you Google "fake Gamakatsu hooks" you will see a number of posts/reports of knock-offs being sold on-line. It seems the fake ones have steel that has a lower carbon content (more likely to snap or bend) and aren't chemically sharpened...Gamakatsu has a proprietary process (try the fingernail test). Personally, for all the $$$ I spend to get out fishing....boats, gas, gear, etc...the last place I would want to save a few pennies is the business end of your tackle. After all, hooking fish and keeping them pinned is the primary objective in fishing. In the grand scheme of things, even the best hooks are relatively cheap.

Try breaking or bending them with a couple pair of pliers. You'll get your answer that way.

I think everyone wants to go now. when are we leaving?

I was through there last summer camping and he brought my boat over and back for $30, cash only, pay on the way out. Great experience, I will be going back.

Thanks guys, A Yam is probably the next choice for me. F60 or F70 Tiller. 100lbs less than the 75.

Drop a Yamaha or Suzuki on that boat and you'll probably have a lot less stress
