Berkley Fusion 19 Hooks

[Muskygary]

Anyone try these yet? They are on the first page of Bassmaster.com.   They are covered with a polymer coating called "Slickset" which makes the hook easier to set in the fishes mouth. Sounds good but wondering how they really work?

Berkley doesn't talk them up much. It seems there's always something to try and corner a market share. I like plain old black nickel or black chrome....I think they are the same...because they are sharpened after the plating. I think anything added as a coating after plating and sharpening takes away from that sticky sharp I like right from the package.
