Mike @ CCTACKLE has the VMC stainless Siwash open Eye and they are an awesome hook. Not that expensive either. Their 4/0 is about the same size as Mustads 5/0, keep that in mind.

Why even try.........

Whatever you do, avoid the nickel gammy siwash. I ruined about a half dozen plug tails by using these hooks. They rusted immediately. I get all my mustad stuff from terminal tackle, and my VMC from SWE.
As far as hackles; Cabelas, terminal tackle, local fly shops, SWE maybe?

Just got a big batch of American rooster saddles in various colors in the shop.
$12.00 for a whole lot of feathers. Probably more then you need, but one will last a long time for most surfcasters.
The VMC "clawpoint" is the ultimate Siwash. It has been discontinued though, I believe.  It's the one on the back of many of the Hab's Elite. NO rust, and almost certainly the strongest siwash available. |
