VMC makes the smallest hooks I've ever been able to find, #34's. Smaller bend than a Mustad #32, but a longer shank, like a streamer hook. Spade eye, shaped and hardened violin or piano wire, barbless. Cool hook, tough to tie on, too. The Mustad is a forged hook, barbed, spade eye, and is much easier to tie on.
BTW, the Tiemco #32 is not even in the same class- it's the size of Mustad #28.
