Guy I fish with swears he loses fish on them but I've never had an issue with them. I think they are great hooks. A little overpriced but great hook.

I have a good book set so I don't need them. I've ripped every fishes mouth and left a giant hole when I used trokars. My gamagatsu work just fine. Yep poor fish looks pretty crummy after I cross his eyes with a trokar. Good flipping hooks I like them when using floro flipping braid I'm a gama, strike king hack attack flipping hook guy

I like using the trokar flipping hooks. I get a good hook set and the fish stay on.
Only issue I have is if I set the hook on a fish 3lbs or bigger the hook is bent everytime.
So I go though a bunch of them, I have started using the owner jungle flipping hook, I might switch full time but I need a little more time to tell if I like them better. Those Owner Jungle flipping hooks are money. Hope they make a version for jigs soon.

I haven't had any issues with the worm hooks. A great hook in my opinion.

Switched from SK Hack Attack to Troker TK 130 for flipping on recommendation from Shaw Grigsby at Sabine Elite. Had troubles with bending on both braid and flouro on the SK'S
I didn't have the bending issues with the Trokars I had with the SK's, but seemed I was losing more fish.
Just in time for transition from bushes to grass flipping, I got my Owner Jungles in. Seemed to fix both problems.
Needle hook so no tearing, Teflon coating for easy penetration. And if you bend the Zo wire, you're a stronger man than me.

I've bent the Trokars with Flouro also. I too am a Gamakatsu fan for life, or until I find something better!

I switched to those for a while after the trokars and never looked at the price, but it thought they were 3-4 bucks? I kept breaking the worm keeper ever couple of fish, and it would slide down a lot, i got tired of pushing them back up. But other than that good hook. If they are that cheap i'll just keep using them.

Overpriced and over hyped. I agree. And like many others said they go through your plastics very easy because of the three sharp edges they have leading up to the point. Not worth it in my opinion even if they were cheaper.
How come I keep catching small fish when every product I buy is supposed to catch more and bigger fish?
