Mustad S71 S: This Signature Series version of the 34007 is Mustad's new "All Around" stainless steel saltwater streamer hook. 2x heavy, 1x long, needle point. Very nice hook for bonefish flies, Clousers, Deceivers, and other standard saltwater patterns. Note: Mustad is revising some of their Signature Series hooks for 2009 - the S71S is to be discontinued and replaced with the "S71SZ-34007" - this hook is available now in limited quantities, and features the new "ZSteel Finish" - instead of a stainless steel hook, the S71SZ-34007 is a carbon composite hook with an anti-corrosive finish asserted to be 8 times more corrosion resistant than stainless steel. These new hooks feature the same dimensions and proportions as the S71S, and they appear to us to be made of a similar material as many of the Japanese made saltwater fly hooks like the Tiemco and Daiichi. According to Mustad this new material provides an increase in strength, sharpness, and corrosion resistance. The color of the finish is a little darker and less shiny than the traditional bright stainless steel, which may be preferable for some flies. The addition of the "34007" number to the model number indicates that this hook substitutes for the original stainless 34007 hook - Mustad has not been entirely clear yet as to whether the 34007 will continue to be manufactured. One final note - #3/0 and #4/0's will not be available in the "Z" series hook.

Varivas 990 Series hooks: Japanese made Varivas 990S series carbon and stainless steel hooks represent the ultimate in sharpness. With a unique modern design, these hooks are serious business! Designed by IGFA fly rod world record holding angler Eizo Maruhashi, with high-power carbon used for extra strength - you can hook and land large hard-fighting fish like tarpon and sailfish. The unique rust-resistant finishes keep the hooks sharp and shiny. The hook gap on these hooks is sized slightly larger than traditional hooks; hook gap on a #4 is comparable to a #2 on traditional styles. #6 and #8 are ideal for bonefish flies. Note: no new stock of these hooks has been available from the manufacturer for some time now, and we have limited quantities remaining. We're sorry we can't say how much longer the Varivas styles will be available for. As of 2/4/09: we have bought out another merchant's remaining stock, so we are able to offer some sizes that haven't been available for a while now - all sizes listed below with an active link are in stock now - sizes not listed are no longer available.

Varivas 990 Carbon The following report is from The Gold Cup Tournament 2000, where qualifying fish were tarpon over 5ft long, and in excess of 60lbs: Using the new VARIVAS 990 hooks, the popular Japanese tarpon tournament champion, Eizo Maruhashi had "takes" from seven fish during the tournament, and amazingly landed five. The astonished Eizo says "these hooks are unbelievable - the penetrating power is awesome...even against the armour-plated mouth of the tarpon." T. Patrick Ford Jr., chairman of the Golden Fly Invitational Tarpon Tournament reported: "During the (Golden Fly) tournament, I had eight bites and caught seven fish which is very rare in tarpon fishing. Usually, landing one in ten is a good ratio. I truly believe that the VARIVAS 990 Carbon is the best tarpon hook I have ever used." This hook in the #1 is our favorite for small Toad flies. As of 2/4/09: we have bought out another merchant's remaining stock, so we are able to offer some sizes that haven't been available for a while now - all sizes listed below with an active link are in stock now - sizes not listed are no longer available.

One item of note; there is a size #1/0 available in the SL12 series, a notable omission from the Trey Combs series.

Gamakatsu SL45 Bonefish Hook Another recent innovation from Gamakatsu is the SL45 bonefish fly hook. Straight eye, forged, sproat bend, with a black finish, the SL12 is nicely balanced for bonefish flies. According to Gamakatsu, "the size 10 is small enough for those really finicky Bones but the 2x strong high carbon steel shank is strong enough to keep them out of the mangroves once they’re hooked." We suggest caution if you plan to be fishing over a lot of rocky bottoms, or when fishing for very large bones - this is still a light wire hook when compared to traditional styles. This hook is super sharp. Per pack quantities: #10: 15/pack; #8-#4: 12/pack. All sizes $3.50/pack.

Gamakatsu Live Bait (Light Wire) with Ring: Gamakatsu's Live Bait Light Wire with Ring is one of our new favorites for tube flies. To rig these for a tube fly, just double the end of the tippet with a surgeon's loop, insert the loop through the tube, then loop-to-loop onto the ring of these hooks. These hooks feature a solid ring welded to the eye (not a split ring). No snelling, and the doubled line helps prevent chafe inside the tube when landing tough fish. We have been using these hooks successfully now for three seasons on tubes for bonito and little tunny, and they are far and away our first choice now for small tube flies. Slightly offset bend hooks and holds fish well. Smallest sizes would be very nice for some freshwater tubes, medium and large sizes for salmon, steelhead, bonito, etc. These are not overly large hooks; the #1 is approximately 3/4" (2.1cm) long. For really tough fish, try the Live Bait with Ring shown below. All sizes $6.95/pack.

Tiemco Ceramic Hook Hone (Heavy Duty) We have been using the Tiemco Ceramic Hook Hone successfully for several years now. This hook hone quickly puts a fine point on any hook using the flat side or one of the various sized grooved channels. Ceramic lasts far longer than other types of stones (practically forever), and won't rust like a metal file. Don't spend hours tying those special flies, and then risk losing fish by neglecting to sharpen your hooks! Get two - one for your tying bench and one for your surf or boat bag. The Tiemco Hook Hone is 4" long. Click the blue dot for photo.

Thread

We offer several kinds of thread for different applications.

Ultra Thread is a new favorite - the most popular size of this thread (UTC 140) is smaller in size than the Danville "Flat Waxed Nylon" that we have used with great success for many years, but has the same "flat" shape, and seems to be just as strong - we have switched to this thread for much of our own fly tying, and we have some of the other sizes of UTC thread as well, including the 70, 210, and 280 denier. Regarding the "Denier" sizes: the larger the number, the thicker the thread, so 140 denier is thicker than 70 denier.

"GSP" or Gel-spun polyethylene is super strong stuff like the earlier kevlar threads - this is the same material as the popular modern gel-spun fly line backings and spinning lines.

Danville's Flymaster 6/0 is a small, fine, traditional thread for precision tying. Fine thread makes for more evenly finished heads, but it breaks more easily than heavier threads.

Danville's Flymaster Plus (3/0) is a heavy thread used for spinning hair and anywhere thread buildup is not a consideration.

Danville's Flat Waxed Nylon is good for tiers who need a strong thread without too much buildup. This thread lies flat, and is strong enough for spinning hair, or tying very large flies.

Monofilament thread is typically used where it will seem invisible under an epoxy coating.

If you need a better bobbin for fly tying, please see info on the Supreme Ceramic Bobbin.

Griffin Supreme Ceramic Bobbins If your bobbin has a tendency to cut or fray the tying thread, then try one of Griffin's Ceramic Bobbins! These bobbins feature Ceramic-lined thread tubes that allow the tier to use maximum thread tension without danger of fraying or thread breakage.

The Supreme Ceramic is a comfortable, traditionally shaped open frame bobbin, the Bass/Saltwater bobbin has an extra long thread tube for tying very large flies, while the Magnum/Jig bobbin features an extra sturdy frame with a shorter bobbin tube - useful for tying with heavy threads, and preferred by tiers who like to keep the bobbin in the palm of the hand. All of the bobbins in the Griffin Ceramic bobbin line are priced at $12.95.

Deer Hair Tying Tools: Hair packers and hair stackers (eveners) are indespensable tools for tiers making flies incorporating spun deerhair. The Anvil Push Button Hair Packer helps pack hair on the hook and distribute it evenly, making your spun deerhair heads more consistent, and therefore easier to trim.
The Griffin Hair Stacker (Hair Evener) aligns the tips of the hair for making more consistent hair collars, etc. This is the Large Hair Evener by Griffin, designed for large jobs utilizing lots of hair like saltwater patterns. Its hexagonal shape keeps it from rolling off of your tying table. Large Hair Stacker overall length: 3 1/2"; funnel length 2 3/8"; funnel opening 1". Click blue dots to see photos.

Anvil Ultimate Taperizer: The Anvil Ultimate Taperizer thinning scissors are one of the keys to making attractive flies using sythetic fibers. These scissors are one of the secrets to making patterns like the Popovics' Surf Candy, and Super Hair Clouser type of flies. If you use fibers like Super Hair, Ultra Hair, Fishhair, Bozo Hair, Kinky Fibre, or even Yak hair, you'll make more attractive flies by using thinning scissors to properly taper the rear of the fly.
