Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh !!!!!!!

[fishfinger]

Not long doing this fly tying lark and enjoying it until tonight . My first attempt at a Dabbler , Well chuffed with it until I took it out the vice . Held it up under the spotlight to admire it and a big chunk off the hook point had broken off its now in the bin

It's a wee shame

Better to have broken in the vice than on the fish of a life time!
Buy some good hooks and stop using those ones you got from Woolworths

[dabhoy]

Maybe good for release but not for the catch

What type of hooks are you using as I have never had the problem, the only problem I have had was a bendy hook that wasnt tempered.

Safety hooks

Being honest It was a hook that was lying in the bottom of the box where I keep my tying tools . No idea of the make or where I got it from . I normally use Kamasan but I dont think it was a Kamasan .
