Here is their web site. They are also a good source of materials. I buy hooks from eBay all the time, as well.

My thanks to everyone who contributes thier comments and information to the various topics that are posted here. I have not made a lot of posts, but I sure have learned a whole lot from reading other's

Kelly, you remind me of me 15 yrs. ago. Be careful........thass how i got inudated with hooks...........and ended up with two pieces of furniture stuffed full. Just got another shipment in from Daiichi today........not a big one, but some cool stuff. Specially the "Klinks" and these new ones.....Dennis Brown's Glass Bead hooks......they are really cool.....they have a slightly turned up eye, they're barbless, w/a slightly offset hook point, 1X Long, standard wire, and come in two different finishes. They sent me 8 packages of those, 4 different sizes in both finishes. They're gonna be FUN to use.....w/ AND w/out the beads. :D Model # 1251 black & 1250 bronze.
Glad you found the Gamakatsu site.......we just put in an order.....should be here soon.....i swear, there's no Jones quite like hooks..... :lol: :D :lol:

I put that in a search engine when it didn't come up. The Gamakatsu site needs to work on their search engine for hooks. Yes, I know, I have lost it with the hooks. They sound good though. I just ordered some Daiichi hooks, and some Kamasan B525.

This site includes much good info about hooks (see Menu on left side), along with a whole bunch of other cool stuff ...

Dang Bill.....thankx for bringing this up and to everyone's attention. i should of let Kelly know bout it. Ronn is a world class athority on hooks.......i've been to his house and seen a lof of his collection, and of course i've bought hooks from him several times........wish i could afford to continue doin' that. But alas, i need to use up what i have before i EVER think about buyin' more..........watch me have to eat those words. :lol: But anyway, his site is a definate big time resource, and everyone should get in there and study. He's one of my MOST favorite tyers on the planet.....an incredably unique talent. Been an inspiration to me for years now........ ;) i dare say without havin' been completely mesmerized by his work.......i might not have ever went in the direction i did.
Don't get me wrong.....i'm not in his league.....but i admire him immensly.
He's a very generous and giving person as well.....always helping other tyers. ;)
