Was told by a reputable tackle dealer today that BMF hooks will be no longer be the same.

Wish I had time to inquire further with him, and get more specifics, but time was short.

According to him, Mustad will now be producing the hook.

Was the BMF a Gamakatsu before? Least that's what I had heard.....

Least I got the last 5 packs of 4/0 BMF's he had .

This is the BMF hook, manufactured for Paycheck Baits instead of RI:

Yep it is........

That hook will continue to exist but I find it crazy that they cost $2 more per pack than the BMF does/did.

As stated, I was told that the BMF hook will no longer be made by Gammy for RI.

So they are basically a cheaper weaker made hook,but costing $2 more?

I was going to pick some up....what you said now is making me change my mind.
