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.


i witnessed this first hand when we fished this weekend. its a great product, i havent had many issues a few broken octopus hooks in the past but apparently that was from the bad batch i can understand that. i just recently bought a pack of jig heads and one hook had a defective bend so i was unable to use that hook. again its a great product and good to have a northwest tackle maneufactereur i just think the reliability and quality need to be improved for us serious fishermen, we are afterall your target market. keep at it rvrfshr
