Wide mouth hooks? Options?

[Brashy]

Right I'm away to Norway fishing in a couple of month and I'm just stocking up of some gear, noticed how pricey the sakuma's are now. I know there a cracking hook but what other options other than the Sakuma wide mouth extra's in 6/0 and 8/0 are they??
I use to use a hook called Koike wide mouth they were klass but I just can't seem to find anywhere on the net that sells them. (And there half the price and a great hook)
Anyone use them or anything different to the Sakuma's??

Cheers.

Matzuo wide gape hooks are strong and very sharp you can by them off the EBay.

I know what your saying I'm not looking for a less stronger hook there's just other hooks with the same quality as a Sakuma that I've used in the past for half the price but I can't seem to find them. If push comes to shove il just get the Sakuma's mate.
