Yep Owner.

Now the secret is out lol. I love all styles of OWNER.

Are you snelling them?

I have used nothing but Owner Straight Shank heavy duties. On almost everything. The hardest think about these is not cutting yourself when you take them out of the fishes mouth. Those barbs on the shank will getcha!

Do they have the spike to hold the baits on like Trokar?

Nope, they have a couple little metal shank barbs. But if you want to you can add a piece of heat shrink tubing cut at an angle. It will act as a bait keeper for you.

Does owner make a straight shank flipping hook with a bait keeper, if so could someone give me a link where I can buy them. Thanks in advance!!

Straight shank is all I use anymore (with flukes being about the only exception) for the same reason...better hookups. I've not tried the Owner ones, mainly because I fell in love with the Hayabusa straight shank. They're bait keeper is simply awesome!! I snell mine, and it takes a little patience, but it's worth it in the end.

Actually better....

Owner IMO, is one of the best hooks for the money. Offset worm wide gap "which is regular worm hook" and wide gap plus are both a++ in my book. Have boat swung many 8-9's in on a 5/0 wide gap plus and 65lb pro.

Lost 2 more this morning including a nice female I caught out of grass. First place I went when I left the lake was Academy and bought a handful of those things. Maybe it'll help.

I think not doing a superman hookset is what's been killing me lately. I started fishing much lighter line than I used to which get's me more bites but I don't try to cross their eyes when I set the hook anymore either.

The twist locks are by far my
favorite. They're on sale
at tackle warehouse right now.

They stick like a trokar.

Thete awesome and dont put large holes in the fishes mouth , fish dont get off

Owners are great hooks. For those who felt the ones that they were using were inferior, why not name them?

The only problem is that bps quit stocking a complete assortment. I now have to order direct from the owner website. I use owner for flukes, senkos, worms, lizards, tubes and brush hogs.
