Visit Magpie Materials for Hen Necks

Check out Stephen Hankin's web site: Magpie Materials.

It's been mentioned here before. Admirers of his stuff include Old Hat, REE, and Charlie Craven, which speaks volumes!

He has added Riseform Hackle, including hen necks.

Re: New spider hook from Ahrex

Here are the replies I received:

J Stockard: We don't have them now. We may carry them in the future.

Dette: Not currently in stock. We have them on order; expect spring 2025 delivery.

Re: New spider hook from Ahrex

Yes, but when you click on Mike's site, it shows: "out of stock, due in during early 2025".
And his web site is far from "user friendly", at least during my experiences!

Re: New spider hook from Ahrex

I've e-mailed J Stockard and Dette Fly Shop to see if they will carry them too. Will update if they reply.
Nothing showed up from Amazon or ebay when searched.

Re: New spider hook from Ahrex

I didn't see these hooks listed on the J Stockard web site.

Do you know who has them in stock and for sale?
