I've used some of these hooks I got from Nathan. I can say without a doubt that the knots do not fail. I've hung up on rocks and pulled as hard as possible trying to break off my 25lb leader and when it finally came loose my knot was intact but my hook was bent to hell. I am very comfortable with the knot system after all its just a snell knot anyways, but I am concerned with the hook strength. Then again I may have straightened a similar size Owner hook also.

Hey Matt,
Our hooks are made by Mustad and backed by them 100% so yes every hook has a bending point and breaking point but they uphold all the same tests that mustad runs on their hooks.
They don't bend as easy as gamakatsu hooks atleast haha.
