The "600+ Hooks 2014" Boxes...

As is my way this time of year, I'm again offering "The 650+ Hooks 2014" boxes for the tying season ahead. The hooks will come packed in a 10-compartment box, and range from sizes #8 through size #20. And, they will include some "unique" styles that will be added after the primary mixes have been counted out and loaded.

Dry-fly hooks will be the most prominent, though I'll be adding some streamer and nymph hooks, per the discretion of the purchaser of each box. I've got some "wiggle room" as far as numbers of each size and style, and I'll work with everyone to "customize" the collections to your needs.

All hooks will be from either Mustad, Daiichi or Tiemco, and all are first-line quality hooks. Some of the companies who've long supported my annual tying classes with "my kids"-- kids battling/surviving cancer, like me --have been generous to a fault, and have included even more hooks than usual. Hence, the annual boxed collections...

As mentioned, the total counts will be north of 650+ hooks and right now, I have enough hooks pulled to build 8 to 12 boxes. The price is now $45, which includes shipping via USPS Priority Mail to your door. Why the change? Blessings are something that should be paid forward, and we've had a few around here lately...

Paypal works best for me, and my Paypal info is: jwarrington1 at copper dot net

Any questions, please drop me a PM or an e-mail. Hope everyone is doing well going into the Fall season. And, look for a "surprise" or two in your boxes...

I'm in, Jerry. Will send you a PM.

Gotcha covered, my friend. And, don't forget to look for the "surprise" when your box of hooks arrives...

Best as always, Hank...

Jerry, aka hairwing530

Hey Jerry! Ned some more hooks. Sent payment via Paypal.

Royce,

Building your box this afternoon, old friend. As always, many thanks from me and "my kids..."

And, whenever you hit the stream next, tighten a line for me. A partial ligament tear ended my season far too early this year...

Wade safe...

Please see a bit of a price adjustment, for reasons that will become clear in my original post...

Just wanted to let everyone know that I received my selection of hooks from Jerry today. As usual, Jerry has more than delivered. Great selection of hooks and a very nice price. If you think you might need some hooks to keep yourself busy over the winter you might want to take advantage of Jerry's offer.

Oh, and as a bonus, he even through in a nice selection of his hand-tied flies. I have to say Jerry ties a nice fly. (Oh, maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that. Maybe he only includes these "bonus items" with my oders, 'cuz I'm his favorite.)

Jerry, I got mine, too. I'm not sure what these extended body flies are supposed to replicate, but I wish I could tie one! Thanks, friend,

And, no, Royce. I'm his favorite.

OK, you two! You're both on the hairwing530's "favorites" list!! If you keep it up, I'll be forced to send you both more flies in need of fishing and hooks in need of tying!?!

Enjoy, my resident "faves"...

Jerry, aka hairwing530

Jerry - will take a box of hooks too. Will send $$$ via wife's Paypal account. I don't have any money!!!;) Also will try and send you some photos featuring something caught on your dry flies if I can find the file.

Got you covered, GMM...

Jerry, aka the "mending" hairwng530(and no, not that kind of mending...)

Wow! Over 2400 views and only 3 of my guys needed hooks? If there's a better hook deal to be found, please let me know. I've priced the hooks, box and free shipping as tightly as possible, my friends, and my "out the door" boxes now generally carry more than 650 hooks total...

Jerry, aka hairwing530

Just a quick update for everybody... If you don't hear from me right away via PM or e-mail, please don't be worried. My "Better Half" has been ill for a couple of weeks, and currently is in the hospital. As the hospital is a 70-mile drive one way, I'm going to be in and out and catching up as best I can during my "home hours." And, if you're of a mind to, prayers and good thoughts would certainly be welcome...

Be well, my friends...

Jerry, aka hairwing530

Jerry,

Prayers on the way. And don't go too fast on those 70 mile trips and be careful. My wife is also facing some serious surgery in November and I'll be good as it's the out patient kind. Also sending you a PM.

Hey Jerry. Sorry to hear that. I'm pretty sure I speak for most of us when I say...

Take care of your Lady first. Family is more important than a few hooks!

Jerry,You know my prayers are with you both.Ray

Thank you, my friends. Any and all prayers are greatly appreciated...

As for me? "Doc" and my youngest daughter-- she's in college now --have put the clamps on my constant driving, given the "still healing" status of an arterial repair between my ears not long ago. "Doc" and his wife, along with Jesse, are keeping the bedside vigil right now, trying to avoid a "dual hospitalization," if you will. And, I'm having a difficult time with "warming the bench," so to speak...

Prayers always are gladly accepted and appreciated...

Wade safe, my friends, fish hard, and live today like there's no tomorrow...

Jerry, aka hairwing530

The Speaker of the House is HOME! After losing 26 inches of her small intestine and locking horns with a massive infection, her doctors decided that she could finish her recovery here on the river. It's good to have her back within the friendly confines again...

So, in celebration of her return, I'm dropping the price on the hook collections to $45! Everything else will stay the same, including the "surprises" here and there.

Thank you all for your prayers and support during this-- and my own --ordeals. I am both humbled and blessed...

Wade safe and fish hard, my friends...

Jerry, aka hairwing530

Jerry,

That is great news. Nothing like being home instead of in a hospital especially far from home. A ggod nights sleep will do wonders after hearing all the hospital noise and bed pan clanging! Wish her wll in her recovery. Prayers still on the way.

Thanks, GMM. We'll take all of the prayers that are sent this way. With both Debbi in the hospital and Jesse keeping a bedside vigil, it was a little too quiet around here for my liking... or the cat's...

Our prayers will be headed your way for Mrs. GMM's upcoming surgery, my friend. Please give her our best...

And, as always, "fish 'em if you got 'em..."

Jerry, aka hairwing530

Everybody,

To celebrate the progress that the Speaker of the House is making on the long road to her recovery-- and great results with her doctor's appointment yesterday --I'm changing the price on the hook packages to $45 for the duration AND ramping up the hook counts as well. Call it a passing on of the blessings, so to speak...

Wade safe, fish hard, and tie them well...

Jerry, aka hairwing530

Jerry,

Hooks arrived in great shape this past Saturday. What an awesome variety, quality and quantity of them you sent. I may never have to buy another hook forever at the rate I tie!:D

Folks if you don't take advantage of this special offer you're missing out on the best deal of the year.

Glad your wife received a good result from her appointment. Something to be especially thankful for this THANKSGIVING DAY.

Dick aka Grn Mt man

In an effort to enhance everybody's Christmas and tying in the New Year, hooks total will now average well north of 700+ hooks per box. Same price, a little bigger selection, and a thank you to one and all for your prayers while "The Speaker of the House" continues to recover. Wife Debbi is doing much better, and as a Christmas bonus yesterday, I received word that one of "my kids"-- kids battling/surviving cancer, just like me -- from this year's annual tying classes received "full remission status." And, that is the greatest gift of all, my friends-- Christmas, birthday or whenever...

May you all be similarly blessed this Christmas season, and beyond...

Jerry, aka hairwing530

Hey Jerry. Glad to hear all of that GREAT news!!

In celebration of your wife's recovery and "your kid's" remission, I would like to order another selection of hooks. Our local TU chapter (of which I am president) is planning our first ever fundraising banquet. I plan to make several of my wooden fly boxes to donate to the cause. I am going to distribute this selection of hooks among our members with the challenge to tie flies over the next couple of months to fill those fly boxes up!

I'll send a PM to confirm. Again, it's great to hear your good news and have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Royce
