Thats true they break.i use a LARGE pair of channel locks or a vise one shot an dun.I never got one complaint on the hundreds of em i closed on tuna jigs.My guess would be if u over mangle em they will become weak an a 6,7/0 hook can be a mother to close if u don't have the right tools..I have seen em break on another guys lure one time .cost him a good bass.Everything rusts.the older hooks have a better finish.I've had to change VMC's after one night of fishin.The whole hook industry needs to take a better look at their products for the salt if u ask me.but they seem to be sellin like mad.I think they call that job security.
