Tmc5263bl #4,6,8

[rupshall]

Does anybody know of a place where I can get Tiemco 5263 BL in sizes 4, 6 and 8? I have been able to find the regular 5263 but I'm having allot of trouble finding the barb-less version?

when did they start making 5263BL hooks??

not sure ... I have some #10's, just looking for something larger ... I've found a few places online that list the other sizes on their websites but I either can't get a response from them or they don't have them anymore

A search came up up this link at Hook & Hackle:

Here's a link to the TMC English language site, with a pdf of all their hooks.

According to the pdf, there is no such thing as a barbless 5263. I guess you'll be forced to find another brand of hook or crimp down the barbs on these.

according to the link above, hook & hackle carries them in barbless

A little more work but some needle nose pliers and a small honing stone can be really handy and easier to come by.
