I've had $200 Shimano reels strip out the first trip on the water, I've had $350 G. Loomis IMX's blow up in my face first time into a fish. Chances are, you make enough of something, you're gonna have a few defects here and there in your product. Vision's are damn good hooks for the price. I suggest getting a hold of one of the guys at "Team Vision". They'll be more than happy to take care of ya..
