#10 through #18 I have probably 6 boxes of each of the 50 packs...some of them like a size #12 I bet I have at least a dozen easily. They have always been my go to hook!That would have been smart, Big John!
I heard that-that's what I was taught, too.Back when I started tying flies - probably about 45 years ago there really were only 3 hooks you needed to know …
Mustad 94840 - dry flies
Mustad 3906B - nymph/wet flies
Mustad 9672 - streamers
There’s parts of me that still wishes it was just that simple! I don’t know why Mustad ever changed their description of a 3906B from a 1XL to a 2XL either, that always never set well with me. However, I’ve always loved Mustad hooks and still do.
Lay 'em on me....It's your choice & money but there are more than a few 1XL, 1XH, down eyed, Sproat bend hooks I would choose over a made in China Mustad Signature hook...
The only Mustad hooks I still use are some NOS made in Norway 3399's...
Lay 'em on me....
