Seeing as we're seeking unusual hooks...

Has anyone seen Darrel Martin hooks in their shops?

Daiichi made a line of them for a time, but they seem to have all but
disappeared and I was trying to locate some.

Never heard of them.

In fact, my local favorite shop doesn't carry Daiichi. At least not the Alec
Jackson Spey hooks. Nor do they carry Carrie Stevens or Martinek style
streamer hooks. That really sucks!!

Gotta get that changed. I don't like driving 120 miles to get them.

They're a fine wire hook with a slight upturn in the shank, about 2 eyes
length behind the eye (at the wing position) I like the way the wing
sets on them... I've tried "adjusting" the shank myself for this, but
then the eye is out of line and the hook doesn't set properly. They
also have what was referred to as a "crystal finish".

I haven't seen them for about 4-5 years now, bought up all I could find
at the one shop that had them. Just hoping someone might see them
hanging around in a shop near their location...

I'm able to get the Alec Jackson hooks online from Kaufmann's, even in
the colored shanks.
