Partridge K14ST: Alternatives?

[garethl]

Morning gents,

Although I really do like the K14ST's, approx £7 a pop for a pack of 25 (the cheapest I've found is £6.30) seems a bit of a 'take the pi$$'. I've been looking around at alternatives and believe I've found some, but just wondered if you guys have any recommendations for an alternative. If it helps, these hooks will be mainly used to tie reversed para emergers.

Thanks in advance

Gareth

TMC 200R is similar, but with a smaller gape. It may be worth taking a look at
the SHINGEN Living Nymph Hook from Steve Parton.

Thanks for this guys, really appreciate the feedback.

Gander, was looking at the 200Rs as an alternative funny enough. Might be worth a try.

Toby, PM headed your way

Not a lot of choice by the sounds of it.

How about a Hayabusa 270?

Thanks for that Col', and guys, big thanks to all who've posted suggestions.

After scouring the web for your suggestions, my choice fell to the Daiichi 1270 as I was able to get them down to #22.

Again, biggest thanks for all your help guys!
