d**n I've looked everywhere for them
So have I, last year......I talked to the owner of Johnson's Sporting Goods in Rockland and he said they weren't making them anymore.... :'(..........If I can get over there I might be able to get you some.....the other choice is cork board from Wal-Mart or any fabric store and a little waterproof glue.....

Beans has these nylon straps that go around the spool and have a grommet to hold the hook. They are nice, but a bit pricey at $14 for 5. I am going to make my own based on the design at beans.

I just printed up the packaging for them for Kineo Flies,so I would think he has them if you're fishing up around Moosehead any time soon.

I wrap the rubber band around twice and they are tight. They do only last about one season.......but since i bought a 1/4 lb bag for about a dollar i should be good for about 20 years........and from what im hearing these hook ums arent bulletproof either.  :)

I agree--i always  used hookem's until this year. Now i use rubber bands hook it onto the hook, wrap it around the spool and attach the other end to the knob on the reel!!!!
