hook selection
« on: October 04, 2012, 10:45:24 AM »
What stores have the best hook selections. Wouldn't it make sense to stock almost exclusively barbless hooks for salmon and trout? Seems like most places have hooks that no one needs...
Does any store in Vancouver carry worm hooks?

i would say i buy about 90% of my terminal tackle online. I research about what I'm thinking about using, etc. and track it down online for a much cheaper price than whats in the stores around here. I would love to support local but when i can pay a lot less my dollars can go a lot further for me

Do u guys use mainstream sites like cabelas bass pro tackle warehouse or do u have something else u can share
Owner hooks?
A&n didn't have any worm hooks. I'm talking about the Texas rigging ones that have an offset eye and can be fished weedless or tree branchless  ;D

Nikka in Steveston is good if you don't want to wait for the online stuff to arrive.

I ordered my worm hooks from Cabelas, solid hooks and really can get into nasty brush with them.
