Smaller Hooks for Ganging
Submitted by wicksey on Tue, 2009-06-23 07:27
Hi Guys,
Trying to find some small sz6 hooks that come with an open eyelet so I can gang them. Cant find them at the few stores ive been to, but im sure they would exist. Can't justify buying the pre-ganged ones. Anyone seen them about?
Cheers

You can get small Gamakatsu hooks for
ganging. Ther come in a small plastic box. Hard to find, but they are around.

hey wicksey,
I buy mustad limericks in a box of 50, and use pliers to open the eye.
make about 10-15 sets depending on number of hooks u want in your gang!

haven't had any luck finding
haven't had any luck finding the gamakatsu hooks, but they are what id be looking for.
i normally just sit there with the bench vice when I do my tailor gangs, so much quicker than pliers.
