I'm wondering how the Chinese can plan to make a fish-hook fail like everything else they build.
I'm wondering if the pre-1970 Mustad hooks will ever gain collector's status & value . I have a ton of them. ----- Original Message ----- From: Neville Gosling To: Virtual Fly Box Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2011 12:05 AM Subject: [VFB] Mustad definately China Henk: A quick search on Google produced the following information: - In the early 1970s Mustad established a regional centre and fish hook factory in Singapore where they produced a range of articles for sport fishing, including fishhooks. The Mustad company in the Philippines had made it possible to expand sales of flies, snelled hooks, jigs, rigs and lures. This has given the company a broader basis and has enhanced the penetration of Mustad fish hooks worldwide. Mustad has also acquired hook-manufacturing plants in Brazil – where it operates out of Porto Alegre – and Portugal. In 2001 Mustad decided to build a large fish hook factory in Wuxi, China. The plant has been expanded twice and the last expansion was completed in 2008-09. The Singapore factory was closed down in 2007 and all fish hook production transferred to China Source of information http://www.mustad.no/www2010/?page_id=5 Neville (Nev) Gosling -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
