Dressed hooks, long shank, Hackles
We all know the advantage of using dressed tail hooks on plugs and tins. Action, color and size are the things game fish zero in on. Dressed tail hooks enhance almost any lure by adding to all those qualities.
What we have here are Mustad #34091 hooks in 7/0 size as shown in the pictures and dressed with Hackle feathers. The hooks themselves are 2x strong, forged and tin plated for saltwater use. In addition they are long shanks with an open eye which makes them a good candidate to replace old hooks easily without using additional hardware like split rings. I use the same hooks to tie deer hair dressed tail hooks for some of the tackle I make.
These were tied some time ago and have been in storage. They're in excellent condition, like new in fact. Feather colors are bright and vibrant and they have no bad odors or mildew. Because they were surplus to the company that made them I can offer them at a very attractive price. The only downside is that the quantities are finite. When they're gone they are gone! I will not be tying any.
Right now is as good a time as any to refurbish or dress up your tackle. This is an easy and inexpensive way to do just that with quality materials.
NOTE: As of 2-24-2023 the Black is no longer available and isn't expected to be replenished. Sorry for the inconvenience.
