G'day fella's
I'm looking for an alternative supplier to the Black Magic Series A fly tying hooks in the same shape as depicted below. I'm not interested in alternative shaped hooks.
They are for a specific pattern I am looking at tying.
These particular hooks from Black Magic are made in Japan, but I'm not sure by which company.
Anybody know who makes them?
I think these could be classified as Limerick and/or Sproat bend if I'm not mistaken.
Want them in 2 or 3 extra heavy.
Any advice much appreciated.
Tried putting up a picture of the hooks but can't - sorry.

Can't Steve supply them? If not the Kamasan B175 or TMC 3769 are similar.

The BM A series is identical to the kamasan B175. Or almost. And Steve sells the 175's in 25's or 100's.

Not sure that it is listed but the A series is more of a Limerick bend I think?
The TMC 3769 is a sproat bend much like the Kamasan 175...
The 175 is a close match just not as sharp a change of angle at the start point of the bend like the A series.
A TMC do have limerick bend but are lighter gauge so if you want the A series... get the A series
