switch10 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2012 Most definitely! The prices are the best anywhere, and they are great quality hooks! Here is a step by step I did for a black bead birds nest using one of the 200R style hooks from GCO. http://mytroutfly.blogspot.com/2012/10/how-to-tie-black-bead-birds-nest.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shoebop 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2012 I bought some of their dry and wet fly hooks and I like them. They are definately sharp and they seem to be heavy duty too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flytire 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2012 you simply cannot beat the current offer for creating an account/buying hooks. i just place a good sized order and got over $12 off and free shipping to boot! http://greencaddis.com/fly-tying-hooks.html judging by the numbering system used for the hooks, they are probably made in the same asian factory as the top name brands are made definitely worth looking into Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flytire 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2012 i dont think this thread was about price wars your preference in brands and the prices you pay are entirely up to you lets not forget the originators post on this thread. the green caddis brand is whats being discussed and there is no need to fault their prices Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
