So yes, there have been times when some fishermen have experienced a failure. But it's a very marginal situation. A we have to admit, though, that we bluefin tuna lure fishermen like to put a lot of brake on and inflict a lot of pressure on the line and therefore on the lead head.

Personally, after several dozen see hundreds of fish stung with this head in seven years of fishing, I've never opened one.
