Hook equivalent

[salmo]

I like Hanak hooks. They seem to fly off the shelves. Looking for an equivalent for the Hanak 470. Any suggestions?

What is the description of the 470?

So I was perusing the J. Stockard catalog and with the exception of the "Medium Wire", there appear to be several other similar hooks.

Partridge SLD-J and SLJ and SUJ
Fulling Mill FM5045
Daiichi 4699
Tiemco 403BLJ
Umpqua XC400BL-BN5X
Firehole 516 BL, 551 BL

The "wave" in the hook point is kind-of unique so if that's the selling point there aren't any apples to apples equivalents however...

A quick Internet search comes up with more than a few online retailers who show inventory in most or all sizes of that Hanak hook including a guy in Poland on eBay whose freight fee isn't THAT bad.

Are ALL the dealers really out of stock?

You also might need to buy more when you find them if they are that popular...
