Default fulling mill short shank special

Does anyone know if this hook fits with international rules in size 6 or does it need tweaking? And if it doesn't how does the size 8 compare with the kamasan b175 size 10?

cheers,

john

The size 6 Short shank special needs a little tweak to fit the gauge - but it is only a very small tweak.

If nobody replies to the comparison thingy, I'll post a photo in the morning as I'm away from my camera at the moment.

short shank 8's are big enough.....why tinker with a sz6..?? what happens if you bend that out when fishing again and get banned for it???? not worth the risk...
