: I like Owner hooks, especially when kayaking, for a few reasons. They don't corrode as quickly as some others. Just sitting so low in the water, your tackle can get splashed. They are also very sharp. Though I do like buying the cheaper Mustadts too, I just have to sharpen them.
: The barb is pretty small on the Owners. That's why I think some anglers don't like them. Though because of the small barb, it makes for a smaller hole in the fish.

RE:I think that would be a plus if the hook was really set on a fish, and while looking into making my own spoons or irons at www.luremaking.com , I think an owner hook would be a good choice for a spoon or iron.
