Being winter I'm making a stack of rigs during the cold evenings. Mostly for deep water fishing - bluenose and puka. Got me thinking I wonder which is the best puka hook? I know it's probably opening a can of worms to ask but I'd be interested in what folk have to say. For bluenose I love using 13/0 Mustad EZ Baiters. They work ok on puka too...but I've found the quality of Mustad has been going downhill a bit lately so I wondered if there are other circle hooks that are better? 

What size, how much offset and what brand are best and why? Appreciate your thoughts and rationale.
