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".

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.
