See #14/0-4X's below with a 19/0 muddler in center: (see business cards below big fly for reference) And a 19/0-6X with a 14/0-9X compared to a quarter: Been tying my Fantasy Flies on these size hooks for over 25 years now. These are all Mustad hooks. DonO ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Romero This was at the FFF International Conclave in July/Aug. Just wanted you to see the size of the hook i was tyin' on........i have no way of knowin' exactly what size it is. It's one of many i have made for me by Alex Hayes, a young kid who is a hell of a tyer and who lives in Michigan. It all started with me giving him hundreds of hooks and then he started sending me these BIG *** hooks he makes because he knows i like big hooks.............so now he sends me a dozen to 15 at a pop. i'd estimate this one to be bout a 20/0. Shank is bout 9 inches or more. And it's not the biggest he's ever sent. they are a GAS to tye on. Ya gotta love it. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
