He's just funning a little.

I did a Google image search to try and guess what you're looking for, and more than one style of hook emerged. Can you post up an example?

keel hooks were mfgd primarily by mustad 79666s (stainless) but they were discontinued many years ago hence hard to find--I search the internet and ebay on an ongoing basis with little luck---my hope is some other fly tyer has a bunch and will part with a few----jake

Does a 60 jig hook not substitute well for that?

What about taking a long shanked anything and bending it into that shape?

the cite you posted is a ghost cite with no way to join and no way to purchase anything, let alone smaller orders---I THANK YOU for you efforts but you will find that this, is like searching for the holly grail--while it is true that it is possible to bend hooks to the proper configuration you will snap at least half and always wonder about the strenght of the remainder---thanks greg---the search goes on
