Default Alternative to Kamasan B100

Anyone got a good alternative to the Kamasan B100.

I have the following already which are close

Varivas 2200
TMC 212Y,2487

and the following which are not so close

TMC 111,2488 and the Grip 14723.

I guess what i am looking for could be described as a buzzer/caddis style hook.

Thanks in anticipation.

Try the Hayabusa Grub hooks, they are essentially the Fulling mill ones.

The lighter ones are the 384's, heavier ones 387's available in a few finishes.

HAYABUSA 384 Standardweight Buzzer from Eyebrook Tackle Shopo

Cheers
Ben

Knapek make a czech nymph hook which is very good.

Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.

Mark,
Try the dohiku grub hook cant remember the model no from Phil at the FTB they are slightly heavier and a bit straighter in the shank but a quick twist with the pliers soon puts a better curve in, well priced too IMHO. Possibly better suited to stillwater ?? dunno.

cheers

Buzz, Phil has some at Spidersplus - curved hook with a flat top , useful to put coloured antron on, or cdc etc.

Am away from home so cant check the name - but its on his site Buzz......I have tied about 10 emergers on them and quite happy - they are lighter than B100s i think, and a size 13 equated to a size 14 B100.

Hope this helps.
