Ron:
I stay away from stainless steel hooks just for that reason.
They don't corrode quick enough.
Maybe for a plug the're OK cause you usually dont lose that hook in a fish.
But a steel bait hook will corrode quicker in a fish's mouth or gut and the fish have a better chance of survival.
I do use coated steel, but that just increases their life a bit in the tackle box.
Certainly not like SS hooks.
Curious about where they rated nickel, cause' the most corrosion resistant materials used in acidic/corrosive applications, procesing plants, power plants etc... are nickel alloys. Also called "superalloys".
