The one your refering to as circle hooks are Gamakatsu Octapus hooks.....basically the same thing as a circle hook. You can use them for all kinna things.......for one thing, they make GREAT trailer hooks, hangin' off the back of another hook or for tube flies. I just tye outrageous big giant artistic soft hackles on em. Course in comparison to what i would nomally refere to as "Giant".......they're almost micrscopic, lmao. I do my real serious artistic flies on anything up to a size, (most likely 20/0 or bigger), i can't even measure. So those Octapus hooks aint really that big in my eyes. I don't even remember any streamer hooks with downward bends........if you can jpeg me a pic.....i can figure it out. Has to be jpeg.....something that will open itself. I just like colored hooks......any color......ALLLLL colors. I do a lot of my artyistic tying on colored hooks...........just gives the flies an even MORE artistic look. The ones you got are also Gamakatsu. We get them free from Gamakatsu, along with TONS! of just bout everything they make..............trout, bass, saltwater, EVERYTHING. And they like us to share them........it's part of the deal. Same thing with Daiichi........we get those free too........so we share them as well. I've given away bout 3,000 hooks in the last 3/4 years. I give away at least a thousand a year. I have so many hooks i can NEVER use them all.........so why not share 'em. Have fun. mark..... P.S. btw, i'm off list again.........but you might wanna make mention of your inheritance on the vfb forum........maybe somebody else might need something i can help them with. You can post my email and tell 'em to email me..... i'll go back "On List" for a week or so to see if anyone responds.............Lotta the vfb people have already got hooks from me in the past........but you never know........ _________________________________________________________________ Get all your favourite content with the slick new MSN Toolbar - FREE http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/111354027/direct/01/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
