Return of the "3908C" nickel shad hook...finally.

[Bill Kiene semi-retired]

At Kiene's Fly Shop we will have them in a few days in sizes #2, 4, 6 and 8 in 25 pks for $3.99

Return? as in you found a stash or they have decided to make them again?

[Bill Kiene semi-retired]

'Doug's Bugs' had them made overseas so they are new and even better quality than those old Mustads.

**They have that nice shorter shank so they make a nicer small shad fly than the old Eagle Claw 1197N.

I just got some in today in sizes #4 and #6. They are labeled TAR3908 T and come in a 25 pack. The "T" I assume stands for the tin-finish.

I also got in the 60 degree jig hooks and they look like they'll work great for clousers. They have a slightly larger gap in the hook bend, black nickel finish, and are very sharp.

Great Tony

After you tie some flies on them put a picture up here for us.

We would like to see some of your favorite Shad and Striper flies.

Are you guding the Striper run this spring on the Sacramento River?
