  • Kirby Long Shank hooks?

    Are these hooks still available? I've not seen them in years, though I tend to only use a couple of shops. Used to be my dad's favourite hook for flatty fishing, last time I can remember buying any is maybe the late 1980's.

    dunno, still got a few boxes of tinned kirby hooks I use to to tie up small daylites and streamery type flies for mackeral.

    cracking hooks IMHO, hook ups are almost guaranteed and nearly always lip hooked as well

      aye, I couldn't recall many, if any, deeply hooked flatties when using them, just came back to mind again when I picked up a pack of hooks the other week and there wasn't much choice and nothing with a particularly long shank to it.

        the doggs doodahs for flatties IMHO, got plenty of smaller sizes - 2's 4's 6's if you want some

          Cheers Mark, I'll have a hunt around but will give you a shout if I can't find any... I've got some odd grey coloured bricks that I got off my brother when his place removed some large equipment, maybe sort out a trade for a few hooks and a trip in the summer for a couple of them...
