Cakey, funny you should mention hooks, i`ve just come back from a couple of weeks on the Ribble, whilst fishing there ( always loose tackle due to snags and boulders ) had my hooks open up a couple of times on decent Barbel.
Thought nothing of it at first until my fishing partner mentioned the same thing.
We were both using Kamasan Animal hooks, his bought locally , mine bought in Essex.
We`ve both been using these hooks for the last few seasons and have never had problems with them before, made us wonder, have they changed the hooks to a lower spec.
I`ve now changed all my rigs to different hooks as i`ve lost confidence in the Animals.
Has anyone else had problems with these ?
