Hey guys!

I have decided to give the Reaction Innovations BMF flippin' hooks a try. My question is, where can i buy them right now? Some places are sold out and i can't find them on the Tackle Warehouse website(preferred site)! I need them in 4/0 and maybe 5/0. Any help is appreciated.

NOBODY KNOWS THIS!?!

I've been looking for them as well............no luck.  Haven't even been able to find the heat shrink barbs.  TW does or did have them.....but last time I looked they were sold out as well!  Must be a d**n good hook.

Have you tried these guys?

Dink Anglers in clewiston had them last time I was there about 3 weeks ago.

I guess i will have to trust one of those lesser known companies because these things are scarce! Hope they are worth the trouble!

Susquehanna Fishing Tackle was also out last time I placed an order a few weeks ago.

Man, I didn't realize the BMF was so hard to come by now. I only have 5 left, hope I don't loose any!

BTW, if your using this hook, learn how to tie a snell knot and forget the barbs or shrink wrap barbs. I actually mash down the upper barbs on my BMF hooks. A properly tied snell knot will force the hook point upward when setting the hook on a fish. I rarely loose a fish even flipping into the gnarliest cover. Often the fish will hook itself when the hook rotates upward as the fish moves with the bait.

Try it, I promise you won't be disappointed!

Yeah i know a small shop that carries them catt. Have you used both and compared them? If so, which would you recommend? I hear the BMF is a lot stronger and i can tell it has a wider gap in the hook bend.

LMK man!

By what criteria is the BMF supposedly stronger?

The difference in gap is minuscule

Of what good is a product if you can't find it while you at home much less when your at the lake.

I don't know about the strength difference, that's just what some have told me! I have had the Gamakatsu EWG hooks bend out on big fish in heavy cover so i want to get the strongest hook of the two.

Reaction Innovations is switching the manufacturer of their BMF Hooks and Barbs so they will be out for at least a couple of months.  I recently called their main office to ask about buying in bulk (they don't sell in bulk) and asked about their hooks, that news came straight from them.

Hmm...

I have never had any problems with Gamakatsu, but I recently

picked up some super heavy duty Owners. I don't think they can

be bent! However, my best suggestion is still the Daiichi XPoint:

I think GMAN knows where to buy them in bulk if you care.

8-)

I don't understand why more people don't sell in bulk. If somebody wants to buy a 1000 hooks, then sell them 1000 hooks. right? They save on about 200 packages that way too.

I don't understand why people don't buy in bulkit aint like hooks are going to go bad

Well, guess it's either wait or go with a different brand!

If you straighten out a BMF hook, you have some serious pull.

They are a super strong hook, stronger than any hook I have ever used.
