Hi Rick:
I'm not sure how this works without knowing the choice of other participants
otherwise there is the possibility of duplication of popular style and size.
Does each participant receive 1000 hooks? Are the hooks genuine Dai-riki (not
to be confused with Daiichi) or a chinese knock-off? Th

I am curious as to where various hooks are manufactured now? Any hook experts
out there?
Tiemco- Still Japan? Ties with Umpqua Feather Merchants.
Mustad- All operations now in China
Daiichi- Still Japan?
DaiRiki- Japan? Korea?
Partridge- England, but now?
Eagle Claw- USA?

Maybe someone who was in the last hook swap can tell us what the quality of the

Not only 'where' is important, but 'how' and of 'what' steel? There are wire

to be controlled and consis

As I understand it, there are 3 major hook manufacturers in Japan - Daiichi,
Gamakatsu, & Hayabusa and they also manufacture hooks for brands such as Tiemco.
Mustad are all made in China. To my surprise, Mustad have been losing money and
have recently been taken over.
Dai-Riki started by being
Add Maruto Hooks, Japan, a 100-year old fishing hook manufacturer. They
have more market presence in Europe, but there are sources in the USA via
eBay. A friend and I have been buying and testing this brand, and it is
high quality, with eBay prices much lower than the more known hook brands.

Wes:
Maruto is one of the name brand/style of hooks manufactured and marketed by
Dohitomi & Co., Ltd. Japan. This is what makes it so confusing. Which is the
actual manufacturer and which is the brand?
I have not tried them yet although they are available in Europe. Where can I
get some?

I suspect that someone is marketing an Asian (probably Chinese) manufactured
hook and calling them "Saber." There are so many like this such as "Talon"

Saber Hooks are available at The Flyshack http://www.flyshack.com.
I and most of my tying partners are using them now. Good quality, good
pricing and the flyshack has been great to deal with.

I have had many many Mustad hooks break at the barb. I have a draw full of
flies with broken Mustad hooks. Quit using them about 15 years ago.

Interesting. Maybe I'm not clamping my hooks tightly enough in the
vise, because I can't ever remember breaking a hook in the vise,
other some 28's. And nearly all of my hooks are Mustad.

Before Japanese hooks hit the market, Mustad Norwegian hooks were the most
common in Canada, with a few English hooks if you could find them.
I have experienced 11% breakages with certain Mustad Norwegian hooks, but I
probably had a bad batch. They also used to break if one smashed down the barb
Allan,
They were not breaking in the vise. The barbs were flattened before the flies
were tyed. The hooks broke while catching fish. It was discouraging to cast for
a half hour and missing fish before finding the point of the hook was gone.
When you come over for Sowbug, I will show you the draw
Strong grooved jaws cinched tightly on a ill-placed brittle hook = breakage.
