jig hooks

While waiting for some jig hooks in the post I tried bending a few various Kamasans immediately behind the head. Bead goes on OK and can't see why it wouldn't swim correctly. Anyone else tried this and made it work?

doesn't this weaken the hook?

I suppose it might, but for a grayling with max weight of say 2lb, shouldn't be a problem I presume? The ones I've bent still seem fairly strong,

I've done it before, it works perfect on the stronger wire kamasans,
I wouldnt do it on the fine wire hooks.

Phil has some good value jig hooks here

I use these Dohiku Hooks - HDJ & theyre great
