Over the last 3 months, I have broken almost every treble hook on the 2016 #5 Flicker Shads.  I'm well over 25 baits sitting in my box with 2 hooks on each treble.  The Triple Grip hooks are very fragile and will not take any amount of stress while removing the hook with or without a plyers.

I Spoke with a product specialist at Berkley and was unable to obtain the exact model of the Triple Grip hook.  He told me the hooks are a #6 Mustad long shaft and are exclusive and can't be ordered. The only way to get a replacement is to send in the lure and they won't replace exclusive colors.  So if I want to send them back 25+ lures, I can't get the Fleet Farm Colors back.  Why won't Berkley address this issue.  I've had this problem to a lesser degree for years and usually just throw the lures in my repair box (which I never seem to take the time to repair).  Anyone have any luck replacing the exact model and size of hooks on a #5 or replacing them with something else that does not effect the lures.
