Default Gaelic supreme nymph hooks

Anyone know where i can the above without having to resort to getting them from America. Tried searching the web, all I keep getting are tackle shops in the states.

billi suspect these are rebadged Sprite Hooks as no one else makes hooks in redditch any more .
they are a 3x lshank ,and i think Sparton may have some probably the downeye version ,i suspect you may be wanting the upeye and that one I cant see being a UK used hook !

ALL Gaelic Supreme hooks are made by Sprite & made under license to Belviordale who are the only agents for them. Other U.S.dealers stock them but they can only buy them from B/D's. You could not even buy them direct from Sprite, as I tried a few years ago at the BFFI. The license was so tight that it's not worth the owner even trying to sell them on the quiet.
