Hooked:
Every Tiemco hook I've bought, was by far sharper than any Mustad hook. Buy
a pack and compare for yourself. You'll be surprised at what you've been
missing.

I'm sure that your post is based upon careful observation. I have noted
that Tiemco hooks appear to be sharper, too. However, I can afford to tie
more flies if I buy Mustad hooks and sharpen them than if I buy Tiemco or
the other Japanese lines.

I've had no bad experience with Mustad but have had a several Japanese hooks
break in use. That, combined with their higher cost per hook keeps me
firmly in the Mustad camp despite their limitations.
