Title: incredibly good quality hooks for a pittance
Post by: corsican dave on September 06, 2017, 07:55:33 PM
you really can't knock these at just under £5 for 500 and delivered in 10 days flat :shock:

ideal for carp or other predator flies. i believe they have other patterns available. they really are fantastic quality & endorsed by some mates in Oz who catch an awful lot more big fish than i do (which doesn't take much, to be fair...  :lol:)

looks dodgy as hell when you place your order, but it's absolutely fine

exactly Vaughan. & i can assure you they're right up there with Korda or similar. my mate in Oz has had 500+ carp on these without a problem. he also uses fluoro, but let's not go there right now....  :lol:

Some folk in the tackle trade are making a very decent margin on hook packets at 25 hooks per packet  :shock: :shock:

Do you think they'd be good for articulated streamers? I'll give them a try
