New Owner open eye siwash
Just picked up a pack of these. Not sure if i'm feeling the black finish, but they are sharp. Dressed up a few and put them on some plugs they look good

NIB, what hooks are you using that don't rust? VMC's rust after a use or two for me. I just tie up a ton of them and replace as needed. |

Would it make sense to dip the VMC siwash hooks in some sort of epoxy before they are tied to slow down the rust a little? Obviously if you catch fish, the teeth will remove the coat but I was just wondering.  |

True, but they're brittle and the eyes break off easily after you close 'em up  |

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.
