Anyone had problems with these snapping. I've had too many snap at the curve in the shank out of to many different packets to think it's a one off but only in the suicide patterns.

Should be a rare occurance Luke not many break to the amount sold...

Luke the only way you will stop this from happening is dont use them just throw lures ;D ;D

Trav,
seems to be in the cheapest of the mustads(not chemically sharpened or anything) and only in the smaller gauges I've had problems like 1/0 and 2/0 because we use the bigger hooks on deep sea trips and have had no problems. Too true with the lures mate, bait costs more these days anyway. ;D

Luke, I use mainly mustard 9555b's in a 4 down here and have had the problem of them breaking also. sometimes they break just at the turn and sometimes up the shank..
