Ashley: That might just be. They would make good "San Juan Worm" hooks I think.
And like I said, I used them for a caterpillar hook, Chuck

Well, I maybe cann't although my guess is that these originated as bait
hooks, possibly worm.
I tried wikipedia and even they don't know.
I have trying off and on over the years to figure it out myself, one of the
greatest unanswered questions. The explaination of being a worm hook is the
closet I've come to answering it.
Wondering if DonO knows, actually, haven't seen him on list for a while,
getting concerned.

I have no idea why they are called English bait hooks. Having fished the
first 28 years of my life in England, both as a bait fisher and fly fisher, I
never came across this style of hook. Maybe Ashley can shed some light on this?

It is the English something or other hook. The rest of the name will come to my
feeble brain . I have some of those hooks in my stash.
