There have been some manufacturing defects in some batches of hooks in the past, but there have never been any problems with the jighooks, and there are thousands of those out there in the field...overclamping in the vise would seem to be the culprit, but we'll replace the broken ones for you and next time you have the vise out, try and clamp them lightly...see if that makes the difference.

and there is where the problem is. usually i would chalk it up to clamping the hooks to tightly.....but i float fish jigs 90% of the time and have never once had this problem with a rvr fshr jig. they were brandnew as of wednesday last week. and i bought 3 packs of hooks. 2 packs of 1/16th and 1 pack of 1/8th, and one pack of 1/8th jigs in october which i tied up all for chum fishing (no broken jigs there, and thats alot of fish catchin going on). the broken jigs were all from the 1/8th pack. i have tied around 300 jigs on rvr fshr jigs with this same vise. and never had a problem. most of my friends fish only my jigs aswell with out any problems
over clamping is more then likely the problem..... the rvr fshr hooks dont hold very well in my vise, so i do have to use a little extra pressure. but ive been doing that for a couple years now
again no need for a replacement. and i did not intend for this to be a "bash" rvr fshr thread. i love the products and my success rate has went up alot using thier products. i never leave home without my spoons, jigs and worms.
