I was a a sports show and one of the items I was liiking for was a number 5 hook. <br><br>no one seemed to have any, finaly I came across an o'l timer who told me that they dont make #5 hooks. I had to differ with him on the grounds that I have some in my box. for the longest time these were my favorite hook for bass. <br><br>the o'l timer the said that they dont make them in the US and they dont make them any more.<br><br>my reply to that was what you mean is what i have in my box is an anteque, and his reply was yes.<br><br>My question to any one reading is, is it true that they dont make #5 hooks? <br><br>[cool] “Don’t forget to wiggle your jig.” davetclown
