Allan, They were not breaking in the vise. The barbs were flattened before the flies were tyed. The hooks broke while catching fish. It was discouraging to cast for a half hour and missing fish before finding the point of the hook was gone. When you come over for Sowbug, I will show you the draw I have the flies in with broken hooks. Tony

Interesting. Maybe I'm not clamping my hooks tightly enough in the vise, because I can't ever remember breaking a hook in the vise, other some 28's. And nearly all of my hooks are Mustad.
