Re: [VFB] VMC Hooks- was: Saltwater Edge 2005 Fly Fair

[mark romero]

Dead right Don, the Tiemco 32 is the size of a Mustad 28. Now that i think 
of it, i may have some of those VMC hooks. If i can find them. Misa brought 
back some hooks from France after the chanpionships there, three years back. 
I remember they were barbless. Might be the same company.
I'll let you know if i find them. mark.....

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.
