I have found that brands are not always consistence in their tempering of the hooks once they are formed into hooks or when ever the hook's harness or flexibility is determined. I've had Gammies straighten out on me, e.g., size 6 hook on 12#test Vanish lost me a big fish when is went straight and let the fish off the hook. I'd think 12 Lb line should break before the hook straighten out. I've also had 3/0 Gammy loose their shape and release cohos.
