Used to use the Mustad 9510 XXX stainless open eye siwash hooks for years but also found them getting brittle.Switched to the Mustad 10848 BLN open eye siwash and really like them.They're not stainless but have a
durable black nickel finish,slightly kirbed,and super sharp out of the pack.They're not easy to find around where I'm
from so I order them from Berry's Bait and Tackle on the mainland.Really nice hooks for sure!
