4 years and 1 month ago I launched flyhooks.org<\/a> with the note:<\/p>\n\n\n\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 I ended up buying lots of different hooks to test them out and get a feel of how they were. <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Now I know a little bit more about hooks, but the amount of hooks out there is growing, and the vintage hooks available are still in a very high number, so I keep adding them to flyhooks.org!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today a milestone was crossed: 1500 individual hooks<\/strong> have been photographed, measured and added to the site, and it was Mustad 3901<\/a> that got the honour to do so. This comes together with about 50 new Mustad hook boxes<\/a> that also have been added this weekend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

flyhooks.org have evolved over time, now there are books<\/a>, boxes<\/a>, to gut<\/a>, cards<\/a> (more to come there really soon!) and even a hook making page<\/a>! With time I guess more information and insight will come, but for now: Thanks to everyone that have contributed to the site: from 1 to many – they are all important to get the history of hooks documented!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statistics<\/a> as of today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Companies<\/td>57<\/td><\/tr>
Hooks<\/td>912<\/td><\/tr>
Hook Sizes<\/td>4443<\/td><\/tr>
Hooks with image<\/td>596<\/td><\/tr>
Hook sizes with image<\/td>1500<\/td><\/tr>
Hook box images<\/td>161<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n

Fun fact: 4 years and 1 month is 1492 days…. with 1500 individual hook images I have in average added 1 hook per day since the start!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
