Kamasan hook specs

Does anyone have, or have a URL for, a complete chart of reliable specs for
Kamasan hooks?

I'm writing a book on Muddler Minnows and Muddler-based and -inspired
patterns, and I am receiving a lot of patterns from abroad that call for
Kamasan hooks, which are not easy to find in the U.S. Trouble is, when I try
to look up the specs, so I can offer equivalents, either I can't find the
particular Kamasan pattern listed anywhere or the specs make no sense (a 3XH
hook on a terrestrial pattern, for example).

Hi Gary,
you could try this;

I don´t have it ( I only use comparatively few hook patterns), but a friend
swears it is the bees knees!

You can get the Schmidt book on hooks from Edward R. Hamilton, Booksellers
at a close-out price. Their online site lists it for $4.95.

If anyone is looking for this book, you might as well pay $5 instead of $38
Canadian.

Kamasan are basically a copy of tiemco, or at least were when first
released, that may have changed but for ease of use in the US you could
probably reliably substitute Tiemco hooks for the same pattern.
