Default Titanium hooks???

Anyone ever see titanium or stainless steel hooks? These would be nice. No rust and nice and strong. I've seen titanium spinnerbait bodies that those southern boys use for those green bass.

Hey sinker!
Check out the post from propwash titled "leader material". I know he can set you up on stainless steel hooks. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Stainless steel hooks take a very long time to rust away in that fish you just released. Seems like a real good reason not to use them.

Good thinkin Thumper. Hadn't thought of that one. Just hate it when my box sits for a while and I open it up and everything is covered in rust.
Hadn't thought about the hooks rusting out in the fish though. oops!! [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]
