    I think I solved my problem of straight shank flipping hooks bending out.

    Instead of powder paint, I would use this...

    I thought about using the blade dip. But, someone said that it would fade, so the hook would have to be re-dipped every so often.

    True.. But it is thinner and easy to apply. I go through hooks fast enough not to need powder coat and hassle of doing them. I'm not a fan of heating my hooks to 400* and possibly hurting the temper.

    It's a lot of work to do. But, so far, the hooks have performed flawlessly. 400*? Does the heat gun I use to warm the hooks get that hot? When I bake them, I do it at 350 for 15 minutes.

    My powder coat calls for 400* for 20 min.
