You were not the only one that broke the hook, seems there were more than one that did it. Tony

Hans sent me one. I tied and retied to get my proportions right. Even the smallest hackle I had was too large so I carefully trimmed it. I had tied a royal coachmen and I had to split the thread to get it small enough. I had it all done and was tying it off and the hook broke. I was crushed. I spent more time on that microfly than any before. Oh well, it was an experience. I just wish I had been able to complete it without it breaking.

I had the extras and replaced some of them. That is where I gave most of what I had away.

They were not terribly expensive. That's because Mustad still made them quite recently (may still be making them for all I know). If you have Tiemco size 32's, they are about the size of Mustad 28's. The Mustad 32's are considerably smaller and have been out of production for quite some time. Nobody bought them when they were producing them. Now they are a novelty item. I have one size 32 Mustad which I will never tie on. I'm afraid I would drop it putting it in the vise. <G> And now you know everything I know about tiny hooks. a. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
