    Dryfly-

    What kind of hooks (brand/model) and what kinds of quantities?

    Hook and Hackle, a sponsor of FAOL has good prices on their house brand of hooks and Mustad 100 packs.

    But if you're looking for large quantities (1,000's) or something specific that's a little fancier folks might have other suggestions unless you can get Ron from H and H to special order them for you.

    If you click on the FAOL logo in the upper left hand corner then click on sponsors you willl see the list of FAOL sponsors. Many of them have great prices. This is the link to the Hook and Hackle Hook page: http://www.hookhack.com/hooks.html

    You really didn't say if you prefered one brand over another of if it mattered much.

    You can also check Ebay for some good prices.

    Default Hi Neighbor!

    Hi Dryfly,

    Nice to have a neighbor near by. I'm in Anderson, SC. I've always been very pleased with Hook and Hackle for both service and good quality merchandise. If you stick with name brand hooks, I don't think that you will have any problems with excess breakage. I still use the old classic Mustad #9671 for most of my standard flies since I bought several thousand of these years ago. You got a significantly better price for large quantities then. I don't think many companies offer that now to amateur fly tyers. I don't think I would by any hooks from China just yet. 8T

    Dan Bailey's used to sell hooks by the thousand, as well. Haven't done business with them in years, however.

    If you've seen what they do to milk and pet food, you wouldn't even ask. The possibilies are almost unlimited. Radiation, Curare, Heavy Metal, Asbestos, Anthrax? 8T
