Sandman I emailed VMC about there hooks, I asked if they still make and sell the hooks in question and this is the reply I got:

You can purchase any of our fish hooks from a company by the name of
Stamina

products.

I going to call them today if I get time for price. nI am also going to check out the hooks you just mention.

[Mr. Sandman]

I have ordered from them (stamina) before but don't see them in the catalog I have (06) any more. Let me know if you locate them. I know you will like them! You can grab these suckers with pliers and work them hard out of blufish, dogs etc and they hold up. Eventully you have to replace them but they are really rugged and the price is right.

I tired the new owners this weekend and they seem pretty good. They are a very stiff hook. Very little flex with these. Still have not put them thru the full work out but so far so good. They are sharper then any hook I have used that is for sure. Almost to the point of dangerous sharp.
