Default Barbless Hooks

Can anybody recommend a good quality barbless hook for nymphs and czechs? I currently use Knapec but starting to notice they aren't the best for keeping sharp and they straighten out a bit too much. Don't know if its just the the last batch I bought were dodgy but never noticed it before and I have been using them for a few years now.

I've found that keeping straight and sharp diminishes with age, but an arseh0le is a constant. http://www.flyforums.co.uk/viewpoint...ame-again.html

If you have Knapeks which i know are popular, but want to try something else, perhaps you should take advantage (so to speak) of the expertise, diversity, and good trusting nature of the forum and organise a hook swap?

Hello

Without a shadow of a doubt, i would recommend Fly Tying Materials, Fly Tying Equipment, Fly Fishing, Fly Tying – Fly Tying Boutique
They have a large range of hook available and are the highest quality that i have seen. Hope this helps.

Thanks Carl

Have you tried these hooks yourself? They look the style I'm after but seem a little pricey.

Anybody else used them?
