Default small double hooks

Hi folks,

I'm looking for some small double hooks - size 12 or 14 (or even smaller, if that's possible).

Could people recommend any - and where to find them?

Thanks

Prefer the Kamsan B270 for smaller sizes. Shouldn't have too much trouble sourcing them. Try the forum guys... Grommit, Anderson Angling etc.
I find the guage a bit heavy on the Partridge. Depends what sort of stuff you're going to tie up Matt?

Weenie wets - TBS, Peter Ross and Pennel mainly. Aimed at smaller sea trout/finnock in a very small and overgrown burn.

Tackle bargains do ashima size 16 doubles at reasonable price, especially for 50. Had no problems with the hooks, like a lot of doubles they seem slightly larger than the same size single. Ashima F65 Trout Double

PS. about 11mm long, only other double I use is kamasan 12 which is about 15mm.
