Another Hook thread. This one- Mustad 32755BLN
« on: 12/14/16 00:24 UTC »
Does anyone carry the Mustad 32755 in the Black Nickel finish?  I have checked Lurecraft, Jann's, Captain Hooks, Barlow's, LPO, and none of them carry the BLN.  They all (or most) have the gold and the bronze, but I am after the Black Nickel.

Other than buying them overseas, have any of you found anyone who sells these?  Looking for 100ct and 1000 0r 5000ct.  Thanks!

Hey Tm.  Thanks my friend.  I did see those @ Cpt Hooks- but they are for the bronze finish.  I am looking (and having a hard time) finding the BLN finish hooks.  ...found some on ebay but that is about it.  All I fish and pour now are BLN.  I won't use bronze or gold finish hooks.   I Will keep hunting!

I believe what you are looking for is the 32746BN... It is a light wire Mustad with the black nickel finish

The 32755 isn't made in a black nickel which is why you can't find it. As patwr77 said, if you want a black nickel in that style hook you need the 32746 which is also 3 times the price. Now if you want a comparable black nickel hook similar to the Mustad 32755 for close to the same price, go to Captain hooks and get the Eagle Claw 570BP, this is the 570 with a black nickel finish. Eagle Claw does the same as Mustad except they use the same number but different letter designations for the better 90 degree hooks. The L570BP is the same as the Mustad 32746, it is a Laser Sharp model with a black nickel finish and it is more  expensive than the regular 570BP but not as much as the Mustad 32746. BTW, before you scoff at the Eagle Claw hooks, the black platinum series are newer, they aren't your grandpa's old bronze Eagle Claw hooks, in fact the L570BP is as good as the Mustad 32746, and in my opinion it is superior as it actually seems sharper and the wire seems to be a bit stronger and to top it off it is close to 40% less than the Mustad. I hope this helps and I'll see if I can post a link to the 570BP.   http://www.captainhookswarehouse.com/index.cfm?page=detail&hookid=933&view=1

Haste, my friend, haste. On my part. Dumb.

All I do now are the 570bp that's been mentioned by smalljaw and the Nastys. Like the Nastys those 570 bp hooks are ugly sharp from the box too.

Fantastic, everyone.  Thanks a bunch!  Can't wait for my Midwest Finesse mold to arrive so I can get at some.
