Have you not used the "contact the seller" facility ?

Hi, yes this is the reply, (we do buy them in as TMC 100s direct from the factory....)and (Hi, No they are not Allen & Co. We ship them from Japan not the U.S.) If they are Tiemco they are a unbelievable price.

I've just done a search on eBay and don't get anything under Lakeland, all the Tiemco hooks seem to come from the USA.

Hi, put in TMC and go down to fishing.

The TMC Hook that I believe is one of the most popular is the 103BL.
Lakeland only seem to have this in the larger sizes 11 and 13 on their eBay site. .... and they are £20/100

They used to be around £9/100 when they last had bulk stock on their direct website. They are now the same on there too (£20).

Personally I'd be wary of the other hooks. Can't see them for £5/100 on eBay, unless you are talking about the 2 x long ??

Lathkill is doing TMC103BL down to small sizes £18.25/100 btw

Hi, I have just purchased 200 of each TMC 100 fine wire hooks size 14 and 12
for £20 plus P&P off this site they appear to be similar to Justins from Allen fly-fishing USA.

Hi, I am pretty sure Lathkill Premium (LPH) hooks are Tiemco they have the Tiemco numbers next to them. £9 per 100.
