Anglinarcher Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Matzuo was purchased by Zebco so I don't know how available hooks will be by them. I understand that they are more available in the Asian market, and to a lesser extent in the European market, but in the US they seem to be pretty sparse.

MonteSS Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 Those Matzuo hooks were made by South bend. Worst hooks I have ever used. Especially the Sickle which break so easily at the weird bend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadman Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 Yep Eagle Claw Lil' Nasty a much better hook. Also if you buy by the 1K, you will rarely get any bad hooks. Unlike the Matzuo's. You won't find many people say that they miss Matzuo hooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
