The problem is not the cost of a few bad hooks, it's when they break on some customer of yours and happens more than just one or two times. It is not how I come out on the number I buy as opposed to how many are bad. It's keep your customers happy and with quality goods.

I could care less about the couple bucks I have in jig heads that the hook breaks, it's the ones I don't break here before I send them out. How would you feel if you got say a 4 pound crappie on and the hook breaks; would you be a bit peeved? So it's not at all the issue you speak of and that to me is most unimportant.
