New Sal, the hook is a mustad 94831 in size 12. I would say the hackle size is appropriate for a 12. Can't really put a number on it.
While I do tend to tie the tails on this style a tad longer than some.
I feel having the tail a bit long helps the fly stand well in the water.

Mike (Gen Con)...I was just scrolling through this thread.

Did u ever post anything on here about your tarpon trip?

As for myself, the only things I've tied lately are NJ Troutbum's Mule deer diver (bass love em) and Gurglers after seeing Tim Cammisa's video.

no pics to show yet.

Darby, I did post about my Keys trip. I am sure I did it it the warm water/salt water section. It was great trip.
