I love the 1/0 hooks for Chum, if you really sink the hook deep you will not bend them, most bend outs are from a lack of a strong hookset or the angler actually bending the hook with his pliers while removing it. I also get folks who tightening their drag up to full and super horse the fish in, results are predictable on that one. If you want to skate em in, I suggest a stronger hook.
Your jigs are awesome, and I will be ordering directly from your web site next year for chums. The hooks NEVER bent on a fish, just on snags on the bottom....the best of both worlds. Keep up the good work.
I hear you about the pliers.
I set my drag quite hard for the initial hook set, then I back off a good amount while playing the fish.

Here's a really good video on river float fishing (what we mostly do for chums with jigs) by Rod:

(It targets steelhead, but I assume many of the concepts are similar when fishing for chums, well basically.)
