It has a nice black nickel finish - more silver than black. Available down to size 8, which is a good size for sea trout ...

I find it more black than silver... I find it's more an Aberdeen style hook and more suited to threading lugworm for dabs and flounder than dressing sea trout patterns.

The hook temper is also variable and the straight eye doesn't hang well on a dropper.
For a bright/true
silver nickel finish the Michael Frodin designed Partridge Salar series were in another league. A classier hook altogether.

Hard to get in the single version and Partridge discontinued size 3 & 5 singles three years ago. Sevens & nines still available. Rainy Riding still has a stock of favourite patterns on the single salar silver size five, including a deadly Haslam variant for the Dovey.
