Eagle Claw Hooks

Has anyone ever used these? I can pick some up for about $7.50 per 100. I found this to be the ceapeast hooks so far I have found but was wondering if they are worth the money

I have used them before really good hooks for the price.

I’ve used the nickel plated for salt water and they are fine. don’t have experience with any of the others.

i feel they are good hooks. they don’t bend or straighten out on a snag as easily as some hooks do.

Yup. I use the 254SS, for SW, it’s a short shank hook, with strong wire and sharpens up real well with a file.

Hi HB87,

Like everyone else, I’ve had good luck with Eagle Claw. The price is very attractive. BTW, if you are looking for a good cheap hook don’t forget Mustad 3366s from Netcraft. They run $3.39 per hundred. 8T

I use the LO58S-4 Eagle Claw streamer hooks and a number of others. The LO58S-4 is surprisingly strong and get this…the package says, ‘Made IN USA’ ! How 'bout that !

Cheers,

HarleyBob87,

I use lots of the Eagle Claw fly tying hooks.

Sharp, strong, reasonable prices.

I get mine from Cabela’s mostly, but you can get some pretty good deals on them through E-bay if you want to go that route.

Good Luck!

Buddy

I’ve never had a complaint about Eagle Claw hooks.
