Just put all 100 hooks through the finger nail test - only 1 out of 100 didnt grab first time - it did grab when re-positioned.

In my book thats a very good result

Yeah they claim to be black nickel plated so we'll see how they go in salt water.

I've bought the occasional cheap hook before and if they pass those 2 tests - they usually pass the rest.

Gave them their first run last night - left them un-rinsed in a bag overnight to see what sort of rust would take hold - none as far as I can see. Lost a bit of coating the pliers but apart from that - they survived unscathed
