Default Looking for a strong hook??

Hi All, I'm looking for a recommendation for a strong hook. Whilst fishing yesterday, I had two hooks straighten on me. These are Hayabusa 752's in a size 10 lightweight.

Any help would be fantastic.

Best regards

Stuart

Hi emerger1981, I'm tying Diawl Bach's and Cormorants.

What would you suggest?

Best Regards

Sprite Sproats are my favorite for that kind of thing ,good price ,been using them for decades,and made here in the UK .
Sparton may well have stock ,otherwise a search wil be needed ,Veniards were one of the main wholesalers when I was in the tackle biz.

Can't beat the Comp heavyweight, I use it for all my pulling flies and have never had one bend on me.

Cheers
