I got a sample pack from superfly and would like to thank him for them. Thank you for the opportunity to evaluate the hooks and swivels.

I recieved bronze 3/0, red 3/0 hooks and some barrel swivels.
The swivels were of a very nice quality and would highly recommend you give them a try.

I found 1/3 of the hooks to be of a quality I could take out of the package and fish with. The second third of the hooks needed to be sharpened to meet my standards. And the last third were not of a quality I wished to fish at all. One of the hooks I received had the barb on the outside of the shaft. Two others had blunt points, another had the point circled. I also found that design of the point reminded me of a circle hook. Once into a fish I am sure it would hold nicely, the problem being I can't wait that long with steelhead to get the point.
The ability to get away from sharpening my hooks with vision hooks does not exist. Each hook needed to be inspected because of the inconsistancy in quality. If all the hooks had been of the best 1/3 quality they would get a sterling review from me....sorry :-(

I would recommend vision hooks above vmc, some eagle claw, but not above mustad or gamakatsu.

Hope this helps some of you make better decisions for hooks.
Tight lines
