Yeah it went a bit deep after the poster suggesting a broomstick rod put too much pressure.
The thing is though, if your being ultra gentle after a hook pull or has bent, on a rod that will only pull 4lb when you give it some, it definitely falls into the realms of "not enough pressure to set the hook" being the problem.

If there is not enough pressure to set the hook how is a size six wide gape bending or breaking?

All the pressure is on the point of the hook rather than on the bend.I had it happen on a mid double with a raptor hook.Only had one issue with a korda hook and that was a krank,it looked like the hook had missed part of the process of making it.It was only after closer inspection I noticed it was a different colour to the rest of the packet

Yep. Hard spots in the mouth are just unlucky and I've snapped a few hooks on carp of various sizes. Like someone said earlier this is more prevalent in longshank hooks for obvious reasons.

Simply because it is not going in far enough at the start....
Whenever you take a hook out of a fish it lt always has to come out the same way it's gone in. No one ever pulls the hook through on the same line else you would never get the fookin thing out..
If its gone in up to the gape then there is no strain on the hookpoint right to the bottom of the gape to which there is zero chances of it opening.
You are pulling hooks out and straightening them simply because you haven't set the hook properly in the first place..🤷♂️
