FWIW: The round wire hooks will bend open easily on the new Tony's. The older flat side hooks are very strong.

Might be worth watching for them at flea markets.
I spoke with the guy at the tackle shop in Rock Hall and he told me they have looked all over for a good replacement hook for the 15 Tony but nada. The hook they use is custom made (in China no doubt) and, in his opinion, designed to wear out quickly. The Luhr-Jensen company has even stopped offering a replacement hook, but who would buy them. They are junk.
