I have been going through all my stuff the last month or so.I tie assist hooks for saltwater,saltwater jig hooks,fresh water jig hooks,fresh water live bait hooks,saltwater bait hooks.I must have 150,000 hooks from size 14 to 10/0,Maybe more,How many do you have?
Hmm, tough one for me, I would guess around 8-10K from size 10-8/0. Then my fly hooks maybe another 8-10K sizes 1/0 down to size 24. Have no clue how many jig hooks but should be close to 1,500 now with all I have collected from trades, buying them and other stuff. Then all the other bait holders and what not, might be close to 25K. And use about 1,000-1,500 a year just between me and my kids.
Could be more but there is no way I am counting them anytime soon. :p
Just about all mine are jig hooks in sizes #12 to 5/0.I probably have between 50-60 k in weights from 1/128 to 3/4 oz.
Jig Hooks 6, 4, 2, 1, 1/0, 2/0, 3/0 10,000 plus
Fly hooks, all kinds from size 10 to 20 5,000 plus
Regular fishing hooks / snelled hooks 1,000 or so

Had so many Gamakatsu worm hooks I sold them dirt cheap to a store. I use to sell them so had a lot, still have too many to ever use. Also had a bunch of boxes of their treble hooks.
Then the fly hooks and jig hooks with most already with a head, but some without. Even more of other kinds.
In jig heads I have from 1/80th to 1/8 and several of them go from #8 to #4.
One thing for sure is too many and don't want to count. Lots I have had a pretty long time like the Gamakatsu hooks were bought in the 1990's and still perfect with many in boxes and many in the packs.
Oh and lets not leave out the catfish hooks, LOL!

I have sizes from 10 to 7/0 and a few around 24 we have roughly around 2000 fly hook's over 25,000 jig hooks.

You tell'em Keith
And Crappie Killer Jigs are THE best Crappie Jigs Made. The sickle hooks are laser sharp and won't let the crappie spit it out once you set the hook.
I'll talk to you later Keith.

It's a wonder what you can find when you look,these were in the closet,when I was clearing a spot for my new worm bin.I remember buying these on Ebay about 5 years ago,size 8,size 6,size 4.All boxes of 1000.Good find.lol.
I refuse to answer this question as the wife sometimes reads my post. Lets just say 50K + . Yet next time I go make something I will need a hook that I don't have.
Since I hate to bother with small orders I will " fill in ". And thats how come I got so many !@)*&^%$# hooks.
y'all really have this many thousands of hooks?? LOL wow... I have a couple hundred hooks at the most
haha that's NUTS
They are all fibbing,lol.They probably have three times more then what they are saying.I have been collecting hooks for about 43 years.That's a good one,I'm a hook collecter,lol.
there is one type if hook i always say im going to order but never end up getting...its a mustad 33903 crimp shank...i put in a hook order about once every month or two but always order atleast 5,000 but always forget them...i think they are around $68 per 1000....the wife hates when i order anything and told me if it dont slow down ill be a single man before long....lmao
With the jump in jig hook prices over the last several years every time they've gone on sale or special I pick some up. For anyone who shops at Jan's their 2010 prices went into effect already!!!!!!

AZ,those mustad 32750 jig hooks in the middle are killer jig hooks with a longer shank than regular jig hooks.It's one of the few I like that isn't a sickle. I consider myself a hoarder when it comes to jig heads thinking one day I may stop pouring so I keep on pouring and painting and then I order more jig hooks and pour some more. It's a viscious cycle. When pouring your own you get a better variety which is what I like.
