Are they worth it over say a standard Mugga ?

Have you had a problem with standard mugga's not being sharp enough.

I'd argue that standard Mugga's are one of the sharpest out of the packet.

I haven't used a Mugga for years which is why I'm asking,
Also wondering which size to use for a slid D or German rig size 4 or 6

How do they compare to Kamakura ? I'm fishing a mega weedy lake I don't want them turning over easy on the retrieve ?

The hand sharpened hooks from Gardner are a lot sharper than standard ones and are a decently sharpened hook. I've used a kamakara and you won't get 2 fish from one hook but I've had 2 fish on the Gardner ones. Great on lakes where bites are few and far between but I wouldn't use them on a lake where you expect a few bites. It'll cost you a fortune 🤣

I would agree that the standard mugga hooks are pretty sharp . Having said that I've recently bought some of their hand sharpened ones by Jason Hayward . These have to be seen to be believed , they are extremely sharp. As I'm fishing for only a handful of bites a year these are an no brainier . I would agree that if I was fishing a prolific water then these would be too expensive for me . I'm no expert but these are sharpened totally different to the kamakura hooks and I'd guess that they would be a little more resilient.
