Hook Advice

[Macmagoo]

I am only going to use Barbless hooks for next season. I have been looking at Tiemco but there seems to be lots of patterns available from them. What I need to know is what would be the best hook patterns for Nymphs, Buzzers and Dry's. I like to tie my buzzers on straight and curved hooks. All advice appreciated.

Andy,

Try the Grip hooks from here, good price, good hooks!

grip 11011BL's are great for delicate dries and lightweight nymphs. Very similar to the tiemco 103BL's. I'm in the process of road testing the dohiku nymph hooks which seem to be very strong, so will put up with bigger fish. Not very impressed with knapek, my first pack from them wasnt very reliable and have heard other reports that they are few and far between in terms of quality, but others do use them.


For the patterns if you just google pics the model number you should be able to find the hook shape if its not already on the site.
