Since John doesn't sell hooks here is it ok to post a link? I recently found every replacement hook I needed here, after checking the inventory of all the site sponsors of course: VMC Hooks

Rob, I would stay away from those hooks. They are not made anymore for a reason. They break.

What are they being used for, Rob?

I will be tying some up for tails and others will probably be used for cod jigs. The habs night n gales sure looked damn good with them. Since they break i guess i dont really need them, i didnt think a hook that big would have problems, but it doesnt take much to make a hook break if its a manufacturer screw up.

All the night n' gails that I've seen have permasteel hooks. If you're looking for permasteel (grey) they are definitely out there. I think the stainless were discontinued due to all the problems. If you want stainless siwashes that large I would look at mustads but you will probably have to sharpen them. If there is a strong 7/o hook out there that doesn't need to be sharpened I'd like to know about it and where I can get them. :uhuh:
