hook question river2sea whopper plopper

Hey Larry,

Just curious if you have any idea who makes those hooks on the whopper plopper 190? I realize the wp's are made overseas, but figured you might know anyway. I bought one this most recent spring and noticed right away those had to be the sharpest out of box hooks of their size category, and after a summer of heavy use, they are still really sharp, never even touched them up. I'd like to know if i could find them somewhere to replace a lot of my hooks for other lures

Thanks, always appreciate your generous knowledge

The hooks on the plopper are actually manufactured by the same factory as where the ploppers are made.. very, very high quality hook.

Sooo.. are these available for purchase? I recently had to cut one off the smaller version of the whopper plopper that managed to get impaled in one of my fingers as opposed to a big ol' fish.

Sorry, but they are not available in open stock. Next best option is gamakatsu or owner.
