Been using Gamakatsu worm hooks for about 20 years, never once seen this happen.

Yep. Wish I knew before I bought a bunch. It took me a while of building knot skill before I became ok with throwing higher quality hooks

No way.

I’ve never had a problem with them. Email the company and get a free pack. It’ll probably never happen again the rest of your life.

Very controversial opinion. You must have just had a one-off bad hook.

Never had a single issue with them.

Maybe one out of every 5000.
I have had that happen though.

Bro, it was a log.

Definitely have had them snap, but never in the bend like that.

I mean I’ve had gamakatsu hooked bend out, but never had that happen. You must have had a bad hook.

No product is perfect, but this is a very rare failure. I’ve trusted them with 30lb+ catfish without second thought

Prob setting the hook like a regarded YouTuber

I have recently had my gamakatus hooks breaking under little to no stress, have used them for years but have tested multiple packs of their bead hooks and under very little force they will snap instead of bend. I have never had these problems before so I wonder if they have changed something in the curing process or started using new metal

How did you get the sharp part back?

Literally the best hooks on the market. Looks like an extremely rare overlook. I’m sure if you call them they will replace for free.

I’ve used them for years without any sort of issue.
Even good quality hooks can sometimes suffer from quality control issues and I think you got a bad hook/batch.

I’ve never seen this happen before ngl

I rarely have problems with gamakatsu. Eagle claw, on the other hand, seems like I break one every other month

One hook breaks and they all are a joke? Have you ever made a mistake? Did that make you a joke? Most people find this to be a good maker of tackle.

Haven’t had any issues with Gamakatsu. Eagle Claw on the other hand…

No problem for me I prefer them

Looks like one slipped thru QC

What happened to it, I’m assuming it was in the package that way? Pretty rare.
