always wondered about these. Maybe Ill try. A local stick here uses mustads, similar to the gammy bronze. I just dont know where to get em to try em out. And on the gammys bending, I have stripers here too. Stripers will bend gammys but I dont lose fish because of it, just have to change the hook. Id rather have a gammy 1x bend then a st 36 break. I use owners and gammys, but owners break where a gammy will bend. Just my experince.
+1 the ST-36 will not bend just break
