What a bum.  0 bids & counting.....

man talk about a mark up :-?

Yeah i hate when people do this on Ebay! I have seen it many times before!!!

    Holy cow!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Are they that good?

Holy cow!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are they that good?

Don't know, might never know! I have been looking for them all this year!

Is any hook worth over $3 per hook?

Is any hook worth over $3 per hook?

If you actually want to catch fish they are! The strength and sharpness of a hook are essential in hooking and landing fish(especially big ones). To a point though(not $12 for a 5 pack)! With that said, i buy the big 25 value packs of Gamakatsu EWG hooks for $12 on Ebay.

They're GREAT hooks, but Reaction Innovations stopped selling anything that wasn't their plastic baits. Think it had something to do with not being able to produce the amount they needed to. I hear they should start re-selling stuff in around 6 months.

I have heard many stories about why they are delaying. They must be one hell of a hook i guess!

If you don't like the price, don't pay it.  Supply is low, therefore the price will increase.

Holy cow!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are they that good?

It occurs to me if they were "that good", there would be enough demand so they would not have been discontinued.

But, for the devotee' of the hook, who can no longer find them, it's a case of all the market will bear.

Not a bad marketing ploy.  

See what has been discontinued, and buy up what you can find, usually at a reduced price, then sell it at an outrageously marked up price to a buyer who absolutely has to have it.

No one is holding a gun to the buyer's head.

P.T. Barnum operated on the same principle.

I'm sure someone will pick them up.  It seems heavy guage straight shank flipping hooks are hard to come by these days.

If you don't like the price, don't pay it. Supply is low, therefore the price will increase.

They sold, so they must be worth it to someone out there.

Congrats to both buyer and seller.
