\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Just over 2 years ago<\/a> I started flyhooks.org because I could not find information about hooks:<\/p>\n

When I first started out I didn\u2019t know much about hooks, or material for that matter, so I went to the local shops, bought some hooks, got online and saw the multitude of different hooks was available. But the hooks was always displayed in a box, or without a proper close-up, I couldn\u2019t figure out their exact property, so\u00a0I ended up buying lots of different hooks to test them out and get a feel of how they were.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Over these two years I’ve had people and companies sending me hooks from all over the place: France, Canada, UK, Sweden and many other places! I’ve received envelopes with just a single hook traveling a very long way, envelopes with no sender, one with just a stamp indicating that it was sent from a certain country, boxes of hooks from people that really like the idea of what flyhooks.org is all about and many more…..<\/p>\n

What started as a itch to scratch because there were no information grew quickly, and last night I added the 1000th individual hook picture to flyhooks.org! This could not have been made possible without all the contributions, so: thank you all that have contributed so far!<\/p>\n

There are currently: 42 companies and 721 hook types with 3791 hook sizes. Of these I have registered 431 hook types with image and a total of 1008 hook sizes with image.<\/p>\n
