TMC 765SP - Size 6, 10 Hooks

Upgrade your streamer box with these premium vintage Tiemco TMC 765SP hooks. Originally distributed by Umpqua Feather Merchants in the late 1990s and early 2000s, this specific model is a legendary chassis for serious streamer tiers who demand the best in penetration and profile.

The 765SP is famous for its "Super Point" (SP) technology. Unlike standard needle points, the SP features chemically sharpened cutting edges (similar to a blade) that slice through the tough cartilage of trophy trout and warmwater predators, ensuring a positive hook set every time.

The 5.5XL long shank provides the perfect canvas for classic long-bodied patterns, while the tapered loop-eye—a feature usually reserved for high-end salmon hooks—allows you to finish your flies with a incredibly neat, small head.

Why Tie With These?

While modern hooks are excellent, the original Japanese-made SP series from this era holds a cult status among professional tiers.
