Actually slightly different. Pretty much the same shape and similar wire guage, and much lighter colour bronzing on Fulling Mill hooks.

I also think the FM comp heavyweight 31530 is just a KAM B175.

Made in the same factory. Draw your own conclusions.

I was always under the impression that FM hooks were repackaged Hyabusa's the FM short shank special (sproat bend) being the same as the Hyabusa 751. Hyabusa hooks have a very similar but slightly different profile and wire gauge to their Kamasan counterparts so I doubt they're made in the same factory but have no absolute proof of this.

The Fulling Mill 31530 Comp Heavy weight is the same hook as the Hyabusa 751, I havea bulk box of the above hook and it has the fulling mill sticker on top of the 751 sticker, as Stan says made in the same factory.

Odd, I thought it was the same as the 761, standard shank, heavy wire. The 373 is the standard shank medium wire while the 751 is the short shank medium wire.

again, I don't think they're made in the same factory as Kamasan.
