Hello all. What are the best brands of hooks to use up there for the kings and what size? I asked a guy who was catching a lot last year and i was shocked at how small the were. Also, have you ever heard of a website overstockbait.com? If so, any luck?

Size of hooks depends on what you are putting on them. What are you going to be using for bait. I usually use #4s for comets or streamers , #6 for estaz eggs and  8,10,12's for eggs, nymphs and stone flies.

Thx. I would say mainly eggs, and egg sacks. What brands are good? People always talk about cheap hooks that will bend. I would prefer to avoid that if i can.

Mustad hooks are very good for the money,I use them with no problems.

Yes I use Mustad mostly. 37132 for alot of stuff $10 for 100 is a good 2x strong egg hook. I even use it for a few nymphs even though it technically is not a nymph hook. The other Mustad are the signature series co68 for eggs and nymphs. 3906b for nymphs and stones. They are 6.99$ for 50.   Daiichi also makes good hooks they are $5 for 25.   Don't tell anyone, but I also buy those cheap ''all purpose'' hooks at Wally world to make estaz eggs with especially when I am taking my nephew as he loses a ton of flies. NEVER  had one bend or break even on kings they are 20  for $1.50 I think.

Your secret is safe with me.....and the rest of this forum.

I use Mustad, Daiichi and Tiemco on my flies.  Mustad being the most economical followed by Daiichi then Tiemco.  
I have had hooks bend and on occasion break but too few to not use that brand hook.
 

i use the gamagatzu size 4 live bait circle hooks for kings...very sharp and never had one bend

Mustad and Blackbirds 4s and 6s.  Stay away from owner's egg hook, I used them once and broke them on fish multiple times.  Mind you I don't know if they were 2x.

I stick with the mustads, 4 or 6 to 10 for eggs flies, 6 to 10 for wets and nymphs.  I like Gami Octopus hooks, they are dangerously sharp, but I find that the rocky salmon river eats up the points.
