Default Buzzer hooks with a silver finish

Hi all,
I've tried a bit of googling but I have yet to find a curved grub hook with a silver nickel finish. Anyone know of any?

Regards,
Brennan

Hello,
The Kamasan 100N is nickel plated, the 100G is gold plated

I use the G point buzzer hooks alot, their not as shiny as the Kamasan ones but their a heck of a bit stronger.

Thanks for the replies, lads.

I forgot to add that I am after a heavy buzzer hook, i.e similar to the Kamasan 110. Are the G points heavy?

Are they (387) a silver nickel version or have the 387's got a silver finish?

I have done a bit more searching and apparently silver nickel hooks of the curved variety are like hens teeth. Which common manufacture (i.e. Fulling Mill, Hayabusa etc.) has a standard finish closest to silver?

Regards,
Brennan

The Fulling Mill super heavy weight grub is your best bet, a tad smaller than a 110 but much brighter on the finish.

Over on this side of the pond another option may be the new Alec Jackson (famed steelhead hook designer) chironomid hook available in sizes 7-17 (1xs)
