When i first came on toVFB I got hold of some Italian coarse fishing hooks. They were a size 36 ! I thought I sent you some. Have never been able to find any since though and yes I do look for you........

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.

I thought that they had been taken over recently, but I may be wrong.

VMC is hook maketr, but I've truly only used their trebles on some of my spoons and spinners I made for Great Lakes fishing. I've never used their fly hooks and they aren't available down here in Louisiana. they were readily available in the area of Michigan where I used to live. I can't remember what country they were from though...
