Very difficult to get in the UK, sadly. As such, have managed to get a small supply which may be of use to some of you.
They're also the lowest priced in the UK, or so my search engine would have me believe!

Steff any chance of smaller sizes in the Strong doubles .
Folks these are good hooks found some in Farlowes and fell in Love ,thats only because Sprite have run out of the will to make salmon hooks any more !
~:. Good prices, TT. Timing's just a smidge off though!.
Just so people get an idea, I just bought two packs of the SD3 *10 & *8 on Monday £5.99 each. 60p a fly from Farlowes, if I'd bought ftom you 45p per fly! ~#
Bodies all dressed, wings and sparkle going on 23 flies this afternoon.
They'll probably all be in the bushes within a fortnight. :@

ACW; totally agree, they're fantastic hooks - actually they're nearly all that I use nowadays. Sorry, just got what's shown at the moment, but if there's sufficient demand and these go well I'll get some next time.
Beanzy; typical! :> Those SD3's are awesome, I'd love to meet a fish in our rivers with enough power to straighten one of them!!
TT.
If you want to shift them fast would put them up on the vbullitin salmon board a lot more traffic there even on fff before the chaarge for membership comes in .
BTW heard any more on the felt sole ban ????????????????????

Totally not a problem XL50. Yes, they do have the silvery finish (black nickel), and they are my go-to hooks for longshank sea-trout flies.
Thanks,
Steff.

Cool steff cheers. Im wanting to tie some Teal blues etc without any tinsel thats why Im after a "silver" coloured hook.

To be honest XL50 they are not 'that' silver, so please be warned. They are more of a dull metallic finish, than a sharp, bright silver that you may be after.
If you're playing around, these may be worth a look, I've used them for some patterns in the past and they give a great effect. They're strong too.

Other than that, your best bet may be the single salar hook in silver? Not that I'm a great fan of them to be honest.
TT.
Cheers for that Steff, Ive been told the partridge saltwater perfect is a good hook to use and has a nice silvery finnish.

Thanks for that. Must be some of the special edition kamasans? Like the red B170s.

Good to see you on here Dai. Will be guiding on the Towy every night this week, so will be passing through the valley. Are you fishing at all? if so, more than happy to meet up and drop them off in person and have a chat.
Thanks,
