I have been useing these Daiichi XPoint hooks for over six years at the Salmon River in Pulaski,NY. Never once did any of them fail, no bending,no breaks. These are by far the BEST hooks for catching Huge King Salmon. All my freinds use them when fishing for Kings. They are very sharp and penetrate the tough jaws for good hook-ups. try them, you will love them. Smokey Joe
