Has anyone seen any QC issues with Gami, Owner or anythng I have mentioned? How about the ones I mentioned, EC, Mustad and Danielson? Is the quality control that much better or do you not look for it because it is an expensive hook?

Gami's, point dulling after pulling it off a rock or two?

VMC, corrosion and rusting problems especially after crimping the barb?

Mustad hooks losing their nickle coating after a year in the tackle box?

Any other thngs that would be QC issues and not neccesarily effect the quality of the hook out of the box?
