Does anyone know if these hooks are still distributed in the UK?

If so, by who?

Many thanks!

Have googled, couldn't find anything. Unless I am missing something.

Can you share please?

1st thing I do when in doubt, check Ebay, only 7 results so I'd say it's pretty likely they don't distribute to the U.K anymore, if they're still about, I haven't checked that.

Exactly what I did Vossy. I found similar results. I would like to know what I have missed as per Jason's post as I cannot see anything. But could also be my inability to navigate the internet lol.

I wouldn't like to hazard a guess, but Ashima hooks in the UK have been hard to source in the UK for a long time. When they was getting hard to get hold off, I put a large order in and looking at my emails just now, this was in 2016 from a company called "Faction Carp Tackle".

Also at the same time as they became hard to get hold of, the Ashima carp hooks were sold under a different name in the UK as I bought a load of them too. I cannot recall the name though, but they came in yellow packaging. I would have to dig deep into my shed to find them as at the same time I stopped using them as I found Gardner Talon Tips wide gape a far better hook with more "Hookups" and never looked back so I still have a lot of Ashima's to use one day.
