i'm no metallurgist, but "_x" is kinda meaningless to me.

i mean, how do you measure strength, above and beyond the energy it takes in foot-lbs to bend, then break a hook at its weakest point?

another thing that's equally important to consider is the brittleness. ever have a favorite expensive store-bought jig break at the shank because of repeated bending of the wire (ex. SPRO's)?

corrosion resistance is also pretty important to consider.
