Awesome, they finally have a web page with their herping gear! I agree, these are some high quality hooks, and the company is an ethical one (no sales to rattlesnake roundups). I like my Furmont hooks a lot and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them especially if you plan to use them in the field.
Customer service at Furmont has been a little sketchy in my experience, and their bagstick is an absolutely miserable thing to try to assemble and disassemble. I paid a lot for this item, way back before Midwest's model existed, and was really disappointed. It's not bad to actually use, but it can't easily be stored in a compact space unless you take it apart, and once you do that it is no fun at all to get back together. They said that standard pillowcases could be modifed to fit it, but I tried that and it was still quite awkward. It's also annoying to carry in the field. I like my cheapie homemade bagstick a lot better than the expensive and annoying to use Furmont model.
