I picked up some Owner hooks a couple weeks ago from Fisherman's Marine in Portland. I haven't used them yet but plan to this weekend. Has anyone had any experience with them?

The salesperson at Fisherman's said they're better than Gammie's (and considerably more expensive). They seem just as sharp, considerably thinner, but they have a flat, knife-like tip that is different than anything I've seen. I wonder about their overall strength. I would rather not have one break in half while fighting a nice springer. Any experience with these would be appreciated.
