Fly manufacturer(s) wanted for fly sales web site
 

From what I have seen they all use the same poor quality hook no
matter what pattern they tye, dry, nymph, what ever. A size 18 spinner
is tyed on a cheap stout thick nymph hook.
a .28 cent fly is just that and nothing more. I tried them once and
then gave them away praying all the while that no one would remember
who they got them from :-)

Nope, never meant that at all :)

The point being it is false economy to skimp on a hook given its comparative
investment to all of your other equipment and yet it is the thing that
contects you to the very thing you seek.

No, I don't understand your point, unless it's this
one (which I suspect it's not :-)
