Hi Mark.....thankx for the info bout Mike Kidd. Maryland is a duck hunting Mecca. Kevin Compton is the importer distributer for those hooks from Poland.....the ones that have that little tiny upturn right at the tip of the points.....i don't think we're talkin' Grip hooks in this case. Those hooks Kevin has (he gave my wife some and then she bought more), are incredable.....they're "holding power" because of that little upturn is amazing.....that tiny little upturn is ingenious.

i wonder how they get a machine to do that.....

Hi Mark,
Kevin sent me some Grip hooks as samples to try. This was a while back. Maybe he is not doing them anymore.
