Has anyone had any problems with these hooks?Attachment 394128
Once in awhile I will get a soft hook with the Mustads, Matzuo sickles even more so when they were in business. At least you caught it before you tied them.
I just thought it was crazy, 3 of 20 I did was bad, broken inside the lead.1/0 hooks
Call the seller you bought them from and explain the problem your having and they MAY take them back. Could just be a machine that was way out of adjustment. I have been using sickle hooks and I'm yet to be impressed. I may just go back to Aberdeen j hooks.
If they are black nickle they break!
Never had this happen. Batch I received a good chunk of the eyes aren’t fully closed.
Couple times when I pulled the jigs out of the mold by the hooks instead the of pour head! but that was a problem with Matzuo's on one big run they did. Second Dr.Nip with eyes not all the way closed - but easy enough with that, when watching TV pull out a bunch and close em up so when you pour your ready.
Old guy question. Did you twist these hooks or are they manufactured that way, never seen them before.
Not a twist, the hook is broken inside the lead head.
K1ng I see so many things I don't understand about this mod. I hope it works well for you BUT, Too much offset and the 2 piece hook just makes me skeptical. Sorry if that's too much blind thinking. Keep us posted on the future of this invention. Their are no bad ideas unless one does not pursue them.
It wasn’t intentional. He didn’t want them to bend like that.Quote:

That's amazing, I've never seen this in all my years. It has to be a hook problem, the hook alloy is not tolerating heat of the lead I guess. Good luck.
That is amazing and that hook breaking there is nuts! Something bad wrong with the hook and how it was made! Maybe bad heat treatment or like GrumpyLoomis said something really wrong with the metallurgy.

I just started using some Mustad hooks about three months ago, I have never had this happen with any other hook, I think I will just go back to Eagle clawQuote:

K1ng, I am an Eagle Claw faithful but I am quite sure Mustad will be most interested in this problem. They definitely don't want this out here hurting business, I strongly recommend reaching out to them, they will listen and probably work with you resolving this problem fast. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I kind like K1ng, A king is #1, unique.
K1ng.....if you want your user name corrected....just send a message to Slab and he can fix it for you.
It just started, never seen it before, I thought it was just maybe the 1/0 hooks, but I guess not, I may reach out to them, just to let them know.
K1ng is a Racing number, when was a kid it just always stuck in my head.Attachment 394476
It's right, thanks........also thanks to whoever fixed my tittle.Quote:
