big game hooks

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know of a good place to get big hooks? I am looking for wide gap and heavy wire. Hooks for muskies and things like that.

I have tied larger offshore flies on 3407DT or 34007 Mustad ... actually reasonable hooks, and if you find it necessary you can throw it against a file, but I have found no reason to sharpen further

I agree with SCO, I use the "dt" saltwater series and love them.. BUT I do have to file them to a pin point, cant go wrong with the value..

I tie and sell almost all Musky flies (at least this time of year).

 

I use a multitude of hooks. For articulating flies I use 6/0 Mustad 34007's or Mustad "belly hooks (79282hs)," which are basically a split hook as you can see in my SBS's. For the front I currently have been using the 34007's or Gama 8/0 octopus hooks.

 

For single hook flies, I like big mustad spinnerbait hooks.
