On my Collins Mold that I am using, it has a pin you insert into the eye of the hook to keep lead out. I recently ordered three new boxes of 32798 BLN 4/0 hooks and all but like five of the hooks had the eye too small to fit the pin. I have never had this issue in the past and it does not seem to be present in the 5/0 hooks.
Technically, there is nothing "wrong" with the hooks so I don't know if I can return them, and even if I do who knows if the replacements will have the same issue.
Have you ever dealt with this issue? If so, what did you do?
