Have not had any problems with mine but that is an awesome response!

Any ideas as to the time frame of production that generated the problems?

There is not a better go-to redfish lure on the market, no problems with any spoons I have this year. Support local!

As you can see from my avatar, I use ADL spoons. I swear by them. I have had one hook failure in the past (on a monster Trout). I wrote it off to excessive use and abuse from previous Red fish catches. I have had fish bend and dull the hooks, mangle the weed guard, and destroy the finish. I reshaped the hook, put a point on it, and straightened the weedguard and kept catching fish. They are my go to spoon for reds.
That being said, I am very pleased to see Capt. Mike stands behind his product. If I have any future problems I will contact him, but I will not be asking for replacement hooks for all my spoons. That might bankrupt him.
Happy hookin and tight lines,
FF

My prostaff and myself have been testing them and have encountered no problems, plus they're sharper! PLEASE if you had a broken hook or just want to replace your hooks let me know! I will send you hooks at no charge. We make our spoons so the hook is replacable, it's more expensive for us but I think it's worth it. I will also send new weedguards and screws if you need them. Remember, I use these spoons too. Do you think I want my hook to break? You may message me on facebook or email me at mhakala@cfl.rr.com. Remember to enclose your address.

I've never really fished with spoons much. After reading this thread and Capt Mike's response, I'll be getting Aqua dream spoon's for my tackle box.

I meant to respond to this sooner, but stuff came up. I emailed capt mike with a pic of 10 adl spoons and within a week I had probably 2 dozen hooks, weed guards and screws. Awesome customer service. I just found a new spoon in a closet and replaced the hook for tomorrow. That's what brought it back to mind. I'll say it again, when running a business bad things out of your control WILL happen,it's how you handle those problems that separate the good from the great. I would encourage anyone with these spoons to replace the hooks since it is so easy. And anyone looking for a spoon that catches redfish( imho) better that any on the market, then pick up a pile of aqua dream spoons. Thanks again Capt Mike!!
