heads will usually last a lot longer than the chunks. Unless the trash is really aggressive or the crabs are thick.

Usually they kinda washout before they are off the hook. I usually check my heads every 20 to 30 minutes. When its cold out and no crabs are around heads can last over an hour easily. I wouldn't recommend leaving them out for an hour though.

Those stripers you want to catch have huge mouths, much bigger than you realize. I haven't seen a head too big yet.
