rsinyard Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 I need to try to find 200 3/0 and 200 4/0 Mustad 32798 hooks. They are the 60 degree flat eyes. Mustad is not making them right now because of a new hook machine being put in. I have checked all the hook places (shorty's, captain hook, barlow's stamina.....) and everybody is out. If anyone here has 200 of each size they could part with, I would appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gat0r Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Welcome to the national shortage man. I found 100 at Bass Pro passing through Nashville and bought them up. You might get lucky and find them in a retailer that doesn't sell a lot of those. "The not making them because a new machine is being put in" is not the real reason either. They've been running out for more than 4 months. And it's not just this hook. Several of their hooks are out of stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dampeoples Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 The 96 is the same hook, just a different diameter, if that helps. The 32746 has been out of stock for a while in BLN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitey Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I just bought 1000 of them a few weeks ago from dragonflylures.com, not sure if he had any more or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gat0r Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Ha! So you're the one... I went there too. All they have is 5/0. Haha. He told me someone just bought a 1,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microtek60 Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 The problem with not having any hooks is they shut their plant down and moved to china. They did not build up a inventory before doing so. Shortys will be getting some in the end of april. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
