There is no way to get a truly perfect comparison as some retailers offer specials or undercut the price of other retailers. But, I thought I would look at the unit price of some of the hooks offered. I realize they are cheaper in quantity, but chose only the smallest pack count to determine unit retail cost.
Now, I tried to select, as best I could, except for Alec Jackson's hooks, the standard dry fly type hook.
I realize one of the reasons that Jackson's hook top this list is that they are a "specialty" design.
If anyone might be interested:
