jalberg Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Anyone else ever get into a bad pack of these hooks? I was out last weekend useing 3/0 Superlines and bent every hook out of a pack on the first fish. Never had this problem before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBass Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 The superline hooks bent? Wow! Just the thin gammy hooks have bent on me. I seem to get snagged in trees often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katoguy Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I've bent a lot of them when hooked on wood or docks, never from fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RECOIL Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I use them all the time and never had a problem. Had to be a bad batch because you would have a hard time bending a hook of that guage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grab the net Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I would agree on the bad batch theory. Never had a problem with a superline hook. Pack em up and send them back to Gamakatsu for a look. They should send you a new pack if their customer service is worth a hoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecil Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I have heard of it happening, but VERY rare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalberg Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 Yeah, I've been using them for probably 5 years and have never had a problem, then every hook in one pack bends on the first hookset. It was frustrating, I lost what would have been the best fish of the day on the second hook. I thought the first one was a fluke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass Whacker Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 it happened to my buddy last year and he just emailed them a pic of the hooks and told them what happened and he got a free pac of hooks in a couple weeks. its worth a try before you pay for postage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superduty Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I've never been a fan of gamakatsu hooks. The hook points roll over or bend very easily. I have been using mustad ultra points for years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gritsnham Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 That is strange I have never had that happen with those hooks (they are awesome) I would call them up maybe they will send you a free 25pk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
