Walleye spinner rig hooks
I want to tie up a dozen or so but am low on hooks. The last hooks I used were Mustad, but they were made in Europe. Am thinking the quality is down now on Mustad. What are people using for hooks.

I also use Gamakatsu Octopus and I tie mine with Seaguar florocarbon leader material. This resists pike teeth somewhat better than mono or floro line but I regularly check for nicks and retie when I find them. I still lose a few to big pike every now and then.

I use red, orange and pink Gamakatsu octopus hooks. They're expensive, but the best I've used. I find the finish on the red ones wear off fairly easily.

Yes, it is odd. Last season I was getting straightened/broken hooks on probably 1 out of 4 of the Mustads. The quality has gone WAAAYY down.

The reason the Red finish wears off quicker is they catch so many more fish.

I use(prefer) Gamakatsu hooks.
I also use some colored hooks but dont believe I have seen them make much of a difference on spinner rigs. Blade and body color are the attractors. Does seem to make a difference sometimes on lindy rigs though.
Speed, action, shape are more important, at least to me.
