Thomas,
All the Japanese stainless steel salt water hooks are far superior to the
Mustad as far as sharpness and hardness in concerned.
We won't buy a commercial fly that is not on a Japanese hook for any fly in
our shop.
The reason is here in CA the customers won't buy a fly with a dull hook.
You can still shop the internet for a good deal on good Japanese SS hooks.

The thing is, Tiemco 811S(12 hooks a pack) cost about 1.50$ MORE(!!!) than
the Mustad 34007(25 hooks a pack), and in the only difference is the
color.
They're both stainless. If i can get more for less, im gonne do it.

That is still a fairly popular hook so I think it is still in production
unless it is very recent. We sell #4 and #6 mostly for bonefish flies.
Many here in the US have gone to the more expensive, sharper, harder
Japanse
hooks now like TMC, Targus, Dai-riki, Daichi, Gamakatsu, Trey Combs and
Owner for salt water flies.

Anyone knows if this hook has gone out of production?
