They are almost all 60 degree. According to Lance Egan the reason he uses the jig hooks is because it causes the hook to ride point up. I have found them good for hookups Mike On Wed, Feb 21, 2018 at 9:35 AM, Wes Wada <wada....@gmail.com <mailto:wada....@gmail.com> > wrote: Hi VFB! Hope all goes well. I saw an idea about the use of a jig hook for suspended fly patterns that I am investigating. Up to now, I have not favored suspended patterns because they seem to have very poor hooking qualities. A close friend, an excellent flyfisher, came to the same conclusion. However, I aim to maintain my fool's status and want to see If I can correct the problem. Can anyone tell me why the upright hookeye part of jig hooks come in varying angles? The most common is the 90-degree, but hook manufacturers make 30 and 60-degree models. Why? What is the effect of changing that angle? --weather report-- We are finally getting some snow accumulation in Bend, Oregon. Up til a week ago, much of the US west has been very dry, like 50% of normal historical snowpack. But we have made some gains so prospects of a major drought, fires, low water, stressed fish etc. get pushed further out.
