B110's

[mr_eejit]

Hello i went out yesterday and bought #12 Kamasan B110's to tie a few parachute patterns ( by accident) instead of B100's, i know there slightly heavier but will be any good?

They should be fine if you are doubtful tie one up and check it in a glass of water,you might find it sits okay if not try an extra turn or two of hackle,

yes they will be ok ,i use them for mine and they stillwork and are a strong hook.

Thanks for the replies.

A bit too heavy for parachutes for my liking. You should be looking to dress the fly how you want, not be dictated to by the hook i.e. overdressing it.
The 110 is a nymph/buzzer/grub hook. B100 is yer man.

If you are tying for rivers they are a bit on the thick side mate and you dont want to be chucking tons of hackle on them,ok for daft rainbows,oops ,take them back and replace them
