WHAT IS THAT HOOK DAVE?

 

[Dave_W]

WHAT IS THAT HOOK DAVE?

Thanks wbranch.

Tom,
I'm not sure.
I dump all my hooks into plastic containers and do not write down the brand or size. I's a barbless hook, roughly #14, with a longish, lightly curved shank and beaked point. I am a fan of curved shank hooks for nymphs as they are better for getting the hook-upward drift that I prefer.

roughly #14, with a longish, lightly curved shank

THIS WAS BASICALLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR, THANKS. I LIKE THESE. I MAY HAVE TO TRY SOME TOMORROW. CRAPPY WX SATURDAYS HAVE BEEN GOOD FOR UPDATING MY BOXES THIS YEAR.
