appreciate the link, Charlie. It leads to real size charts for hooks that a
friend was hunting for.

You can get the larger sizes in stainless at a good price from Cabelas, and
the smaller ones from Bob Marriotts. Cabelas carries on nickel plated in
the smaller sizes

As you can see in my signature, I live in Denmark Europe. Never heard of
Cebelas or Bob Marriotts.

The reason why I ask, is because some distributors in DK says its gone out
of production, and some distributors its hasnt. /

It is hard to say what Mustad may do. They are always trying to get more
bucks out of you so they continue to change their line-up of hooks. About 5
years ago they replace some hooks with a new series of hooks that had 5
digits in their name and were slightly more expensive.. About 2 years ago,
they added their "Signature " line which were much more expensive, but I
don't think they stopped making any of thier older hooks.
All I can say is that hey are still readily available here in the States.
If they are going to make a change like that it is usually in the fall just
before all of the trade shows, and before the fly shops put their catalogs
together.
If you want to try to order from the States, here are two links where you
can find the hooks. I just received an order from Cabelas so I know that
they have them

http://www.bobmarriotts.com/ this is a very large fly shop in southern
California with fair prices

http://www.cabelas.com This is a major outfitter for hunting and fishing
and has some of the best prices

Both of these are top notch companies

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.

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. )

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.

What do you mean by dull?

Are you sure that the Japanese hooks(Tiemco) er that better than Mustad for
example?
