Does anybody know if Vexed products use stainless steel hooks?

for general fishing. Cheers

Just stuck one to a magnet
Just stuck one to a magnet so it might only be for some of their jigheads. I'm guessing they are stainless so you can keep on sharpening the tip without having to buy the whole jig.

You can get magnetic grades of stainless ( martenstic) but not common , most stainless grades are Austenetic 304, 316 etc but they still have free iron issues.

stainless hooks
Dont get one stuck in you unless you have a really good set of cutters to get it out.Stainless is a bugger to cut.
