SBPatt 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2018 A number of on-line vendors and all the fly shops in town are out of them in #10-14; one owner says he has no idea if/when he will get any more. Anyone know what the deal is? Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whatfly 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2018 Of course, Dai Riki hooks are made in Japan, but why let facts get in the way. Scott: Asked the same question of my favorite supplier why the #075 was still out of stock, and the version I heard said there may be problems with the distributor. I thought Dan Bailey's was the distributor for the US, and even they are out of a lot of styles and sizes, with no ETA for when they might restock. Might be time to switch to something else until the supply situation straightens out -- or Dai Rikis disappear completely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've always been happy with their quality and price. Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SBPatt 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2018 Found a good deal on scud hooks on Ebay; I liked the price, we'll see about the quality. Good thing, too; the little blue lines are calling and I have a bunch of Carnage drakes to tie up. Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
