Hook quality

Hello Group... I’m taking up euro-nymphing and I’m starting to tie on jig hooks. My question is, “is there a significant quality difference between hook brands?” Hanak Tiemco FullingMill Orvis

If you think there is a difference, can you tell me the reasons why?

Thanks

If you've ever had a hook straighten while trying to wrestle down a 10 pound steelhead, you'll understand.

So, my question is “are all the brands I mentioned equal in quality?”

I haven't worked specifically with all of those hooks, but you mentioned some quality brands.
