Cutting point are great hooks, but with a 500$ fine for using barbed hooks (crimping does not always equate to legal), I would use a hook like the Owner "barbless no escape" or Gamakatsu big river barbless.

Yo @Derby can you confirm if North Pacific has a barbless siwash hook?
My brain is telling me you might have posted something along those lines.

I only use Gammy hooks but not all Gammy hooks are created equal. I use a 1/0 triple with a 3/0 trailer.

The 1/0 triple gammy hooks which are made in Japan and package in Thailand (see photo). They stay sharp and are easy to sharpen. I do not purchase 3X strong hooks because they do not keep their point and harder to sharpen. I use the standard gammy triple hooks which do bend, but if your are pulling on a fish that hard you are not playing the fish and letting it run.

The 3/0 single gammy hooks are made and packaged in Thailand (see photo) . They bend and I find they do not stay sharp as long as the 1/0 triple hooks made in Japan.

Most hooks work as long as you keep them sharp enough to have it stick in your finger nail with little pressure. If the hook point slides off you finger nail it is not sharp enough for me. I also only use new leaders and re sharpen or new hooks ever trip.

Good hooks are cheap in the game of going fishing.

Correct a 4/0 to a 7/0 with a 3/0 coming in the future..
