Further scrutiny.......

I bent the wire around a little and it doesn't seem to be heat treated but it is a bit fragile. Put some pressure to it with some 20lb braid and you just might bend it out. I tied some heavy line to it and tried to break the wire, no dice but I did disfigure the wire.

But like I said.....it is my style. Tie some 6 or 8lb xt to it and a forgiving rod and it is quite a finesse bait. I also like the blades......a bit thicker and heavier than most blades, definitely premium stuff. I think with the right gear these could be killer.
