[quote BigAl85]I'm in Boise. Cabela's doesn't even carry them.Wal-mart doesn't have any either. Will try K-mart. I never thought of them for fishing tackle.[/quote]
Big Al, Cabelas does carry them. I bought several packages of 8/0 circle hooks 3 weeks ago. Most folks look for larger (12/0, 13/0 etc.) for sturgeon. The problem with halibut size hooks is they are larger gauge wire, and rip the fish up. 8/0 to 9/0 are plenty large enough for even large sturgeon. As stated above, Sportsman's, Howards etc all carry them as well. Try looking in the Gamakatsu section near the octopus hooks.
