These are very sharp but the wire is either weak or small. If you get a 15" fish on a 20 or 22 it will likely bend.

Fantastic hooks!

I ordered the size 22# hooks and I must say I am quite impressed with the strength
of them especially for the small diameter wire. Also very sharp plus the price is unbeatable.

Good hook for buzzers, brassies, scuds, and soft h
Reviewer: A viewer

The Mustad C49S hook has a weight, shape and gape that make it great for buzzers (chironomids), brassies and scuds. I've also used C49S for caddis-imitating soft hackles to fish on the surface or just below it. Unlike another reviewer I've never lost a fish due to a bent or broken C49S hook. But I did bend a couple of size 18's in the vise when I was being careless.

Ok in larger sizes

I have to agree with Robert on his assessment on hook âbendabilityâ. I own several sizes in this model and truly only have issues with sizes #18 and smaller. Size #16 and larger, no problem and recommend. Size #18 and smaller, can not recommend.

My wife got me these hooks for Christmas and it was the first time I used them. I love the strength of them and the shape. I will definitely be getting more of them.
