Please to elaborate a bit on the circumstances of how the hooks failed if you would drifter101 and tydy? Rod and line used, broken straightaway on fish, bent out on snag and re-bent back into position before hooking fish, etc.?

Also were the hooks purchased in Rvrfshr packaging at a retail location or directly from our site (not Matzuo packaging)?

Of course I'm going to be a little miffed at reports of hooks breaking that I designed and market... At the same time finding it a bit difficult to believe that even eight hooks would break (in succession), on hatchery steelhead nonetheless.
Personally having hooked close to 1000 salmon and steelhead on the same jighooks over the past couple of seasons, running 20 plus # mainline and 12 plus # leaders on fairly stout rods, without breaking a single hook, begs for a little insight.

In no way am I saying that it didn't happen in a legitimate manner, just wondering the particulars.
Of course we will be happy to replace the entire pack(s) of hooks F.O.C. if you PM a shipping address.

Sorry for your inconvienences.
