What do you mean by dull?

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


I believe that chemically sharpened hooks are sharper than mechanically
sharpened ones. Although Mustad's more expensive hooks are chemically
sharpened, the Mustad 34007 is mechanically sharpened.

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.

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. )




The 34007s often require a touch up with a hook hone out of the pack.
The Signature series, Karmagutsu, Targus and the odd Tiemco I've used,
don't.

The 34007 has its place, I still use it a lot, just be aware of the
shortcomings.

I don't this so but others that are the same are
Tiemco:800S and 811S
Eagle Claw:254SS
Daiichi: 2546
Orvis: JA9034 and J0594

I have grown a loking to Daiichi, Mustad are not a what they used to be.
