I want to see the gamis put to the test. Had many of those break. The only reason I like the matzuos are the sickles. They have a way better hook set. Time and time again, those sickles don't go anywhere. Owners however are by far the best quality hook on the market in my opinion. They stay sharp fish after fish and it takes some brutality to bend them
Wellllll, jig hooks and snp's... Hate, hate, hate the cutting points. They pop out way too easy in my experiences
So far from what I can see both hooks are very much equal in my eyes. Like RWS said, you would really have to horse in a fish to get these hooks to break or bend, I think your line would break first.
Not to be rude, but why? AS you stated your line would break first. Your test is based on a scale that you pulled .. In a straight line? I would be more apt to test Stated Line rating versus actual, rather than a hook bending on sheer brute force. Lot of variables in your test. Don't know of many anglers who would just use brute force, rather than finesse to bring in a nice fish. If you know you have a nice/trophy fish on the line, it would make more sense to worry about line strength rather than if the hook is going to straighten out, unless you are using braid.
