Default Hayabusa 270 Hook's

Hello all i am going to tie up some large caddis Klinkhammers to use with Duo/Trio style.Is Hayabusa 270 Klinkhammer hooks any good as i have never used any Hayabusa hooks before.Also what size of Hayabusa 270 hook should i go with for tying caddis Klinks.I will probably use B100 hooks for my smaller Klinks as i have plenty smaller B100s.Cheers

Default 270 hyabusa

You can get a range of those in 12 - 18
from Eyebrook tackle shop
that should cover most eventualities,
the hook strength is excellent
They are just a tad heavy but otherwise excellent, they are designed for nymphs.
Compensate with a larger hackle if required
hackle barb of 1.5 - 1.75 times gape is about right for me on the 270
8 turns or so on my flies, half a dozen on a Klink, I'd guess.

The 18 is superb
