Desperate to find Verivas 990S hooks in size 1 and 1/0. Tried all my usual places and they can`t get them. If anyone knows someplace that has them please reply, thanks.

Call The Bears Den at 508-977-0700, open today at noon

If they don't have them in stock, they can get them easily. They recently helped me get some particular Owner hooks in a hurry when no one else in the Boston / Metro West region could.

Thanks so much, added that link to my favorites. The DEn don`t have them, can`t get them. Ordered enough to keep me tying for a couple of months.
I had great results with these hooks all season, extremly sharp, wide gap. They don`t mix well with rocks tho, very brittle.

Slinger,
Glad to help, you may also want to try the tiemco 600sp and the Gamakatsu SL12 (this is the trey combs hook, just marketed under their own name now), along with the Varivas 990s those are the only 3 hooks that I tie on, once fish get on they usually don't get off..........
Good fishing
