Dear FTF Member,
Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock
Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will

Hi-

Thousands of fly hooks: Standard Dry Fly, Standard Wet Fly, and 2xl Nymph hooks.

These hooks were repackaged into "generic" boxes some time in the past. Based on the construction, finish, and comparison to known hooks, I am 99% sure these are original classic Mustads. Because there are no manufacturer's markings on the packages, however, I can not honestly say for sure they are Mustad fly hooks. I compared them to hooks I have, including bending, breaking, and destroying examples of the hooks for sale and Mustad 94840, 9671, and 3399, and they seem to be identical. Here are the styles and sizes I have:

Standard Dry Fly (94840) Round Bend , TDE, sizes 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16
Standard Wet Fly (3399) Sproat Bend, TDE, sizes 10, 12, 14, and 16
Nymph 2x long shank (9671) Round Bend, TDE, sizes 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14

All are in boxes of 1000 hooks. I don't have the time right now to break them down into bags of 100, and frankly it wouldn't be worth it. I'm asking $10 per box of 1000 plus flat-rate priority box US postage- which is $5 for a small and $11 for a medium. Some of the hooks, especially the #6 and #8 are in a little larger package (obviously) so multiple boxes will need the medium priority box. The hooks have been in storage since 1981, and some have a little roughness on the shank, but no rust or corrosion. Below are some pictures of each style and size.

If interested, please e-mail me at joel<dot>szym<at>gmail<dot>com, or PM me here.

EDIT- The Medium flat rate box is $11.
If I was an "expert" people would be paying me to do this stuff. I just like to do what works.
