Talked to someone at V.M.C. and Nothing has been changed the way the hooks are made, The difference in say a 2x,3x ,4x ,or 6x hook is only the wire diamerter , Thicker diamerter stronger hook. The Drag and Braid can be a big factor in the bending of the hook. Some have caught OVER 90lb GT's with no PROBLEMS

"HOOK UP WITH HAB'S" Your Best Bet For BIG BASS.....
