keel hooks

I am looking to tie some stacked blondes and the recipe calls for a "keel" hook. I found that they are the Mustad 79666, but I can't find them anywhere to buy them. They are used to create the bulk for the fly. Does anybody know where I can find them or a substitute?

Thanks

The quickest solution is to bend your own using a streamer hook.

I have 21 Eagle Claw keel hooks, size 4, that I am willing to part with. PM me if you are interested.

There is a hook that I haven't heard mentioned in years. Keel hooks were the new, hot thing back in the 1970's. Interest seems to have died out since then. 8T :)

i beleive i got some size 2 if your interested pm me

nomand thanks for the site for stainless hooks been looking for size 6

did a little research after my previous post, mustad stopped making keel fly hooks a few years back, so if you find some you may want to grab them up. are you looking for stainless or bronze , what i have is bronze.

I believe Mustad no longer produces them.
