Chris: I have a story for you. In the SFP, I received a size 32 from Hans W, and proceeded to try and tie a fly. The jaws spit it out. I tried to bow out but Hans sent me another. I was trying to get it in my vise when it slipped and disappeared when I knocked a couple of things over when I was looking for it. Thought this is it then Tony Spezio sent me one, and I finally was able to tie a fly for the SFP. A couple of weeks later I was cleaning around my desk when I thought I saw a glint of gold. I got out a magnifying glass and there in the rug was a size 32 hook. Rather than risk trying to grab it. I took the round magnet I keep on my tying desk, and used it to pick the hook up. When I turned it over to get the hook off, I found two hooks instead of one. The magnet had been on my desk the night I'd dropped the second hook and it had been sitting on it for two weeks. I passed one on to one of the tyers in the swap who had bent the one he had gotten. The other one is sitting in a small clear plastic box at my local fly shop.
