Well Nib we're going to disagree here then The more you heat treat a piece of metal the brittler it becomes...that's why I won't use the owner hooks because the failure point is breakage rather than bending first. They're great hooks and PISSER sharp too. Dangerous.

I can guarantee you that if you are bending 4x hooks you've got braid on the rod. I've said it 20 times in the last few years...something has to give. Loosen the drag or use a longer shock leader. Problem solved.
