Best hook for Klink / Energer

[Spider]

I'm due to start tying up some klinks or similar soon and was wondering in klinkhammer hooks or klink extreme hooks are better than Kamasan B100s ?

Any opinions on that ? Have a feeling that klink hooks are no better for these emerger type patterns than B100s?

I hope to use the pattern for New Zealand nymph / due style.

Thanks

I think these hooks sold by Phil at Fly Tying Boutique are great. The size 15 are perfect.

I would be wary of thinking a Klinkhamer Special could support a remotely heavy nymph New Zealand style though.

Cheers Steve , i would on ly be looking for it to support max 2.5 tungsten .....usually only 2.0

The Partridge Klinkhammer Extreme hooks will hold up 2 & 2.5 Tungsten beads no bother Spider. I tie all my klinks on the extreme hooks and they will easily hold up two tungsten nymphs. Get plenty of hackle wraps in.

the 212y hooks are great for klinks as are the b100's if i was to choose one it would be the 212y.

I use Partridge klink hooks or Varivas 2200bl hooks.

Both will be fine with the duo method.
