Guest Report post Posted January 7, 2004 Let's see who might be interested in a group purchase for hooks. I have spoken briefly with Jim Hester and he said that he has a supplier for Mustad, Partridge & Daiichi hooks and said that with a big enough purchase he could get us a sweet deal. I guess the deal that we would get would depend on what kind of numbers we can get together. Jim can maybe give a little more details on the hooks and what type of numbers we would have to get to make it a "good deal". So let's see who is interested and maybe give an estimate on the amount of hooks you would be interested in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted January 7, 2004 Hell yes! I would be interested in some nymph, wet and streamer hooks. Keep me posted Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted January 7, 2004 I'd be very interested, maybe he can get a list of available hooks and we can post what we want and get an order together? I know I'd order an assortment of sizes for all types of hooks if I could get a good deal on them. I have been tying every type of fly so I need a large number, I'll watch this forum for updates, Thanks, Eric just off of the top of my head I know I'd want 100 of each size dry fly hooks from 12-22, Streamer hooks 2-10, Curved nymph hooks 8-14, That's like 1500 hooks right there and there are some sizes i'd want more of and othere types of hooks that I haven't included as of yet, Salmon, Egg, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted January 7, 2004 It depends on what type of hooks & how many per type & size. If I buy a carton of hooks it's cheaper than buying per package, or some hooks are available in loose bulk boxes of 1000. It's much cheaper to buy in bulk, and split the hooks up than to buy the packaged hooks, and so forth. I just need a list of what everyone wants, including the sizes & hook model numbers to figure out the best way to buy them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted January 7, 2004 Anbody have a clue on the best way to organize something like this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted January 7, 2004 It certainly could turn into one, I guess instead of everyone posting what brand and model # they want maybe we should have a list to order off of then we can just post the quantities desired. If we can get enough interest I'd be willing to help divide hooks out of bulk. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted January 7, 2004 I'm wondering how much does say a 1000 98480 mustads in say size 16 sell for? I know at fly shops they are anywhere from 9.99 to 13.00 per hundred. Lets take the thousand price divide it by ten, include shipping charges and see a per hundred price. That should give us an idea of whether we should proceed further. Just an idea, Eric Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted January 7, 2004 Have Jim get a on price on a popular steelhead hook in the Bulk thousand Maybe find out the most popular size and see if we can get 10 people to take 100 of um. then work your way through wets and dries to see if there’s enough interest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
