Re: [VFB] Tiemco Dry fly size 32 hooks

[DonO]

Deb, I have a pack of the Tiemcos, and they're considerably larger than a Mustad #32.  Probably more along the lines of a #28 Mustad short shank.  They are not rare and can be ordered.  However, if you ever see Gold Mustad 32's anywhere- grab them for me and don't let Byard know.   Obviously then, the Tiemcos are more fishable and tieable than the Mustads, because most people can't even pick up a Mustad 32 without a tweezers, much less work with it. And the Tiemcos have a big plus- eyes.  The Mustad 32 is a spade-end.   DonO ----- Original Message ----- From: Deborah Duran To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 27, 2002 3:13 PM Subject: [VFB] Tiemco Dry fly size 32 hooks Hope everyone had a happy holiday!  I stopped by the fly shop today and noticed a few packs of size 32 dry fly hooks made by Tiemco.  I never noticed that they made size 32 hooks.  They have a short shank and a wide gap.  The gap is supposed to make them easier to tie than the old mustads.  I think the short shank would still make it difficult though.  Have any of you tried these hooks yet?
