Default Lightweight Curved Hooks
I'm looking for some lightweight curved hooks to tie some CDC shuttlecock patterns on. I'm thinking down the lines of the kamasan B100 but is there anything else I should be considering?

cheers

FJ

Never had a problem with B-100s..... anyone that says they are too soft, either has a touch like a gorilla or are fishing with sea tackle......
