Although Alec Jackson Hooks are made in Japan and normally a duty free item according to the Harmonized Tariff Schedules the North American distributor is located in the USA meaning along with a general price increase from the factory they now have the additional tariff’s placed on Japan along with the duty free classification now exempted.
Therefore we are facing some significant price increases on the products from the distributor and even with our policy of always pricing less than our competitors you will find some unpleasant price changes. We regret those and have absorbed a large amount of these increased costs to try to soften the burden for you as much as we can trying to keep your tying costs as low as possible.
We are holding our existing pricing on existing stock as long as it is available but increaes of some 25% will commence with the next shipments to use starting in late November 2025
Thank you for your support and understanding.

Alec Jackson's Hooks
Alec Jackson's Spey Fly Hooks were developed as a result of his desire to obtain better hooks for his personal use. During the early 1970's he negotiated with a British hook maker for the production of hooks manufactured to his specifications. He learned that he would be required to contract for more hooks than he could ever hope to use himself. Thus he was forced into the business of selling hooks and the Yorkshire Fly-Fisher was founded.
Today, Daiichi®, Japan's Fly Rod & Reel Magazine 2002 Award Winning Hook Maker, manufactures Alec Jackson's Spey Fly Hooks to his exacting standards from High Carbon Steel. A unique combination of strength, sharpness, and design gives them superb hooking and holding characteristics.
Alec Jackson's Spey Fly Hooks have good hooking and holding characteristics because they are the correct shape, have ultra-fine and ultra-sharp points. They are very strong and have a long point life because Daiichi® makes them from a superior grade of High Carbon Steel.
We only have to make our point once!
The Daiichi Point!
