<p>On my initial visual inspection, they look good. I don't have the equipment to do strength tests on hooks, so the only way I have to test them is to fish them. I don't have Safe Ice around me, yet, so it will be awhile.</p>

<p>I only go barbless on flies for gills as i hate digging little bugs out of them.Those little mouths they almost never spit the hook.Barbless vs pinched work better because the made baebless has a much longer point.</p>

<p>How's the quality of the hooks Allan.I lost a monster carp on the fly when the hook broke.6lb tippet should have broke first.Some of the chinese hooks,i know even mustad is chinese made,were very brittle.Broke a couple in the vise too.These were streamer hooks from BPS,Most dry fly hooks are wire and not a problem as they will bend.Really frustrating as big carp are hard enough to catch on a fly .</p>

<p>I've found that their small brass beads typically have a burr on the small hole on the "front" of the bead. I've learned to live with it. Their Tungsten beads are fine. I've found that their hooks are identical to the White River brand that BPS sells, but at a fraction of the cost.</p>

<p>Well, yesterday I ordered some 60-degree jig hooks, sizes 12, 14, and 16. Also ordered some gold-colored slotted tungsten beads, 4, 3.5, and 3mm. Today I ordered a small quantity of unpainted 5mm tungsten ice fishing jigs. Going to try and paint some up for myself.</p>
