Source of 90 degree VMC bullfly jig hooks
« on: Jan 24, 2024, 07:24 PM »
I would like to order 90 degree wide gal jig hooks that are the same ones used in VMC’s bullfly jigs.

Anyone know who provides those hooks to VMC?

The shank length is 13mm
The hook gap is 6mm
The length of the 90 degree sections is 3mm


Can’t seem to find any similar.

Have you looked at hagen's and see if they carry them. That is where I get my hooks for my jigs that I make.

VMC hooks come from VMC. They are monsters in the hook industry.

15% off all hooks on JStockard right now. I use them for fly tying materials A LOT

One thing you may struggle with is that for those 90 degree bend hooks, smaller sizes may not be super common. Fulling Mill makes a size 12 which is one of the smaller ones. But if you go to a 60 degree bend they will go down to like size 20 or smaller.

It is a 60 degree hook, but I really like the Ahrex AFW554.
