Default Gami siwashes in bulk?

I'm looking to buy 100-150 Gamakatsu siwashes in 2/0 and 3/0 for my soon-to-be-rebuilt spoon collection. I've only ever seen these hooks in packets of 6 and I was wondering (a) do they come in bulk packages? and (b) if so, how much are they when purchased 25 at a time?

Many thanks

I also would like to find them in bulk #1 & #2 for my spoons. By the way has anyone seen 1/4 oz steelies for sale anywhere? I have not been able to find any for about 2 yrs now. I even wrote to the manufacturer & got no reply. I can only assume they quit making them.

Acme stopped making 1/4 oz. Steelies a couple of years ago.

I don't know of anyone else making it.

Most any sporting goods store should be able to order you the 25 or 100 pack of Gamakatsu siwash.

It will likely require a factory special order and take up to 30 days for delivary unless you find a dealer or wholesaler that stocks them.

Streetwalker,

BC angling post in Oregon City had 1/4oz spoons in silver plated and the brass last year. These are like the steelies but are made by Bob Toman.
