Sakuma Extra E540's won't bend, try them (UK Hooks have them from 6 to 8/0)

Yeah I'd say if it bent a Sakuma Manta Extra then it was either moby dick or you're using cheap fakes  PS off the beach I've had big smoothounds on mustad power worm hooks without them bending out. |

I think islandnipper straightened a sakuma manta on a tope, might be wrong, though I think its almost definately true. Are Varivas really the same as sakuma, looks like I have been paying too much for my hooks. I used to work for BT so I haven't got a sense of humour. I really don't know why I have written this crap, must go fishing very soon.
