Hooks for Klinkhammers

[gochs]

What hooks does every one use for klinkhammers? I tried ordering some Partridge Klinkhammer Extremes from an overseas company on eBay, but they sold out.
I'd like to get some tied up for the D Jam.

while partridge straightens out their biz/distro issues, they said that GF should have access to buying most of their line

It depends on what size you want. I was at GF last weekend and they were out of most sizes. I heard that Varivas is now distributing Partridge and things are pretty screwed up. Not sure if thats the case or not.

I use the Gama C15BV instead. Its a lot finer wire and has a real nasty hook point. I also find them to run truer in size. No issues yet.

Good luck with your search

I e-mailed great feather. Hopefully they have what I need!

I got Partridge Kinkhammers at bass pro. Not sure about "extreme".

I've used the J Stockard multi-use curved hook and bent it myself with the pliers I use to smash barbs. It is pretty easy to bend them and I have not had one break.

I can pick some up for you at our local Bass Pro and give them to you at the D jam.
