I have a bunch of Superstrike dartes. Well constructed, but they are plastic and have a slightly different action than Gibbs. They swim a little deeper, too.
The hooks are Mustad 3x strong. It's not the hooks, it's they way they're attached. I've used open eye trebles for years, and when you put them on right, they don't fail unless they get too corroded. But if you bend them back and forth to get the eye flush, which I think is what they do to get it looking nice and pretty in the package for the guys who don't know any better, you weaken the metal. I now replace them with stronger 4x trebles from Eagle Claw and VMC. You can buy 100 loose HD splits from the Surfcaster or Tim for about $7 or so, and attach a ring to the screw eye or the swivel on a thru-wired plug. With the 4x trebles, you can also use one size smaller without losing any strength.
