i do! I just bought a pack of them (100) and about 25% of them were badly made, with kinks and een a couple didn't have bends or an eye . but is still use them becasue they are soooo cheap
exactly why i always spend the money for tiemcos lol
expensive yes........worth it= to me yes
Yikes, i am not sure how some people manage to find so many bad hooks in a package. I go through about 20,000 or so Mustad hooks a year tying for the shop and i don't think i would find any more than 100 bad hooks in a year.

The newer production runs of Mustad and Partridge hooks are far superior to what was on the market a few years ago. I suggest looking at the label andseeing what it says on the side, maybe you have an older box of hooks than you realize.
