Hooks on Gibbs Spoons.

I have a skinny G from a few years back that has twice the metal in it than the new ones. It holds paint better and doesn't get bent out of shape by thrashing fish.
An old thread under the hook replacement thread currently active, but you probably had the Needle G which is 2-3 x as thick as the Skinny G. Better for fast winter trolling, can be used for casting. Not many stores stock them but they are available. Obviously, they would hold their shape a lot better.

I don’t have problems with the hooks, I do bend the point of the hook over a bit more so it is not inline with the shank of the hook… but I think most do this. I have more issue with paint coming off fairly easy. Still better value than bait which is one and done.
