7/0 Eagle Claw circle hook breaking

[wbfish]

This past weekend in the Haneman tourney we had on a sail that broke the tip of the hook off. Just wondering if anybody has had this happen with these hooks.

I haven't been able to get a circle hook to stick in a fish of any size yet...

I have seen them break on the 8/0 but never the 7/0. These hooks are really cheap and good for about 1 day at best. Had you used the same hook on a previous trip?

hmmmm, are we talking about the "Lazer Sharp" hooks or the standard Eagle Claw hooks
we just bought @50 of the 7/0 Lazer Sharp last week

Don't worry, the cyntinory has been using them for years- just throw them out after every day of use.

we have broken a few also, but only a handful outta 500 or so.

Fishing for the old drum down the here the Eagle claw circle black chrome one will break from the time to time at the tip like you said above.

Drag may be to tight. I have fished with these for years in Guat, Ven, Mex, Costa Rica... and even here and have not had one break yet. We are fishing with 7 to 8 pounds of drag.
