Default Hook Help
A friend of mine approached me about these hooks he had made, gave me 30 or so in each size (8 sizes in all) just wondering what you guys think of them and what flys can you see being tied on them?

Cheers.

Tube flies or snakes. But not for directly tying flies onto.

Eggs patterns might be another idea with the heavy gauge.

They do look like coarse fishing hooks, large sizes for hair rig (bollies), the smaller for pellets (not the trout type).
