They might last but there a rubbish hook mate. The are made of too thicker steel so cant be bent out of a snag over rough ground, plus the eye is to big which can cause damage to baits when baiting up. I much rather prefer to use Mustad blue aberdeens for flatties and general scratching work, the Kamasan B940m for smaller species such as whitting when i expect that a larger fish may be hooked (yes they are strong as i had a 6ld conger on a size 1!). For heavy work it has to be the Sakuma Manta Extra or the Mustad O'Shaugsey. I tie a neew snood onto rigs after every trip or two. I rebuild the rig completely scavenging what i can if it looks in good condition about every five trips out. I never use hooks under a size 3/0 twice as they blunt quickly and are to tricky to sharpen. Generally larger hooks can last abou three or four trips. Remember this is just my opinion though. Safety is a major concern for rig construction though, proper knot such as the four turn grinner and tucked blood knot should be used for all rig construction.
FOR REAL FISH THEIR THE BEST, SPURRY, THORNIE CONGA,
AM IN WEST COAST SCOTLAND MATE, WE DONT FISH FUR FLATTIES, OR DO SCRATCHING WORK,
A ALWAYS LEAVE A TAG OF LINE ON HOOK, AND ALWAYS PUSH BAIT OVER THE EYE AND TIE UP,
BIG BAITS, BIG HOOKS
MA SMALLEST HOOKS A 5/0 , A NEED A HEAVY HOOK THAT WONT LET ME DOWN,
MOST TRACES WIRE, AS MONO GET,S CUT LIKE BUTTER, AND I USE THEM A FEW TIMES, MAYBE HAVING TO CHANGE THE WIRE, BUT NOT THE HOOKS
IS A 1/0 NOT A TROUT HOOK
