I heat my jigs for powder coating with a propane torch. Yesterday, I had several hooks open up, including one that cost us our limit fish. Is the propane torch taking the temper out of the hooks? I hold the jigs by the line tie with a pair of needle nose pliers when I heat them, to keep the powder out of the eye, and only pass the head through the flame. The bend of the hook is never in the flame. Then I hang them in a toaster oven at 350 for twenty minutes. Am I doing something wrong, or were the hooks just lousy to begin with?
