My local sells them, the ones in the hard plastic case are the continental star point boilie hooks? I think the others come in a normal packet?

The normal ones used to come in a little clear plastic box with a blue label on it. But I haven't used them for about 15 years, so they may have changed.

And some came in a little pink plastic box;)

 

The newer ones come in plastic packets apart from the boilie hooks that come in a large box:)

Very weak wire, and a terrible shape... they are pretty sharp tho', I'll give them that.

from what i can remember the shape ok it used to catch fish may be its not as good as some these days but for the time they were the best hook for me

starpoints were the worst carp hook ive ever used they used to cut there way out of the fish causing damage and fish losses they were absolute pants.

Have had no problem with them.

 

I still use them for Chub and Floater fishing at times.

 

I do often bend the eye forward though!
