Not bad-mouthing the sponsor or anything the when a hook is snapping before 8lb test leader, something is seriously wrong.....especially if they werent bent out on previous hang ups and what not. Rant done.


Bummer. Sorry to hear that. Sounds like a few packs of bad hooks got out. I love their jig hooks. I bet you end up throwing the rest away. I would. Unless you had a few batches, but even if you did. They are probably mixed up now.. I once tied up about 300 leaders using 8lb ande. I used ande for years with great results. Well that bulk spool of line was a bad one. All that work is tough to eat. Ya work too hard, and spend too much time and money to let it worry ya, and cost you any more fish. I don't use ande any more.

Replacing the bad hooks is a nice offer. One couldn't expect any more. Its just too bad all the way around.
