Bronze vs. Nickel Hooks

[islandbass]

I appreciate the comments. I have always like the silver black nickel hooks and I am glad to know that my observations on the bronze hooks rusting rather quickly have been substantiated.

So for my bass fishing I will continue to use nickel hooks but for trout fishing, if and when I need to go the economical root, I won't hesitate to use those bronze bait hooks.

How do you folks who use the KVD trebles like them? My walmart is now carrying them and they remind me of the triple grips which I think are very functional and effective, while also looking very mean and cool.

I started switching many of my hardbaits over to the KVD 2X short triple grips last year and I plan to continue. The hooks are strong, super sharp and seem to hook the bass on their own. Never seen any signs of rusting yet. Some of my cranks, like the Lucky Craft brand, I leave as is. I'm not sure what brand hooks Lucky Craft uses, but so far they have worked very well and I have no reason to change them out.
