Where does evryone buy their hooks?

Don't skimp with hooks. I suggest Kamasan or maybe Fulling Mill. Most are 10p a pop & I've never had a problem with Kamasan's.
It doesn't really matter where you get them from - most prices are the same. Look for free p&p as that's where the savings on quality stuff will come from.

If you find a hook you like then buy large quantitys ,I love the sprite sproats and have several thousand in 8s down to 14s,and am still topping up as is only a matter of time before Vince the last UK hook maker retires,and thats the end of them !

I had a delivery from Hugh O'reilly this morning, Kamasans B400 and B100.
Great service, and good prices. Cheers Hugh.

If you can get to the Glasgow angling centre then they sell Kamasan hooks by the 100 for roughly £6.99 or by the 1000 for about £48.If you need them posted its another £2.00 p+p

£4.75 per 100 for B100s and B400's free postage over £10, fast and easy.
