Grip Hook - 14723BL - wide gape, straight section of shank with a slightly upturned eye:

I find that the hook bend and spear act as a "keel" to help detached body patterns land the right way up every time.

Kind regards

Phil, I would have thought your Tiemco 212Y hooks a good option for smaller sizes.
