Your original claim was that and I quote..."definetly as sharp right out of the box". Now if you'd have said 1/3 are as sharp and were working on the other 2/3rds, obiously some of us would have taken a differnt stance! I fish in Forks and bought a pack there. They were inconsistant but I like the price. And the ones that were good were really good. Most people have open minds and when the quality is up to our/or there standards then possibly we will give them another chance. At least I will. And hopefully some how some way sombody can produce a hook that is comparable to a Gammy...CONSISTANTLY. But until then youll have to keep working on those quality guys...
Let em read these posts...that may get there attention.
Believe me I deal with Quality too. Im an Eng at a corp whos iso9001 certified.
Anyway sorry for any bad feelings if there are any. But these reviews wiil help in the long run and your doing the right thing by asking the Hard Cores of the Sport side! We dont care what it costs if it greatly helps our success rate. I remember when catching 1 or 2 steelies a month was considered good, but now a slow day is 1 fish a day and pretty good is 3... Funny how it gets competitive. But man we need a hook that we dont have to worry about, after all there are plenty of other things in a battle with a hog you should be worring about. Not your terminal gear. Let us know when we should re-evaluate? Id be happy too!

By the way there are some really respected guides on that list. Thanks for the post!

Good fishing...
