Defects W/ 6X VMC

[beamie]

Is it a case where a 4/0 segment got mixed in with a 3/0 and welded on ?

Good thinking, but I do not believe so. The total length is wrong, if you look at the top of the welded prong near the eye you will see it is slightly lowered. I believe it is just a positioning error in the bending machine, and on top of that was welded incorrectly much lower.

I'd be more worried about the 6x VMC breaking on a good fish than whether or not the arms line up. That's one of many reasons why I gave up on VMC trebles in favor of the 5x Mustads several years ago.

Have also completely switched to Mustad 5x years ago.
Never looked back, and haven't used VMC since trying the mustads
