Mystery Hook

Recommended Posts

Can anyone help me ID this hook? It is similar to a TMC 205BL or a Mustad 37160 except the hookeye isn't in line with the hook point as in those two models. I'm looking for something in the #10 to #18 range.

It's a "beak" sytle hook. Used mostly for shrimp and scuds. My bet would be a "Hayabusa" 388. Only knowing the gap and the wire thickness will definitly identify it.

That's the idea, John. smile.gif

 

I may have to have them made though, since there is really nothing currently like them on the market.
