Have just found a series of hooks from a "well known" fly shop that carry the TFS label. They are appreciably less costly than the TMC's or Mustads, or any others. Have any of you used them? What call would you make on them?
new to me hooks

Yeah, but the discussion on the "other board" occurred before the hooks were even available...typical.Originally Posted by Joe Billingsley
By "TFS" I assume you mean the Redding Fly Shop. When they finally got their supplier in line they ended up with fewer sizes and styles than originally planned, which was dissappointing, and no barbless styles. After examining a few packages at the store, I decided to pass on these hooks because their fit and the finish was none too impressive, and I'm not sure they ever fully solved the supply issues.
If I need cheap hooks, I'll buy Mustad or Dai Riki, and if I want quality hooks, I'll stay with Tiemco and Gamakatsu.
Thanks, guys! I knew I'd get straight answer from you!!
I'd sure love to be able to get my hands on a huge supply of the OLD Partridge hooks! <pre Mustad ... sorry Dr Fish!!> They were some of the nicest hooks I've ever used.

If the TFS hooks are made by Targus, and apparently they are, they have been around for some time now. I know Gary Borger has been their spokesperson for a number of years. I have never tried them so I can't comment on their quality, but they are definitely not a brand new company.

There's someone selling Partridge hooks over at clark's classic fly rod forum:
