I admit that over the past year I've quietly been using Vision hooks from time to time with no problems. I thought that I'd found a way to save a few bucks by not buying Gamakatsu hooks. The other night I went to OE and bought 200 5/0 Visions for an upcoming trip to Alaska. Tonight while tieing leaders I discovered three defective hooks. the first one was the last one left in a 50 box. the next box had two, and the other two boxes are going in the garbage! all three hooks that were defective had blunt points. like a dull pencil. I should've known that it was too good to be true, and now I have to stand up and say "stick to those gammies!"
Who likes VISIONS of lost fish?
