They are used in many store bought fluke rigs. Typically light wire and prone to rusting out quick.

I used them for years, not sure if I consider them better or worse but I have gradually shifted over to Gami Octopus over the years...They are sharper and easier to come by...I have tons of 4/0 Kahle hooks but they are bronze...Let me know if you want to give them a try...

I use the Eagle Claw nickel Lazer kahles straight shanks on non-skirted rigs. I also add a twist pin to the eyelet when using thick squid strips. I found it makes for better hook-ups.
