Subject: Re: [VFB] Open Eye Siwash
WES,
Open eye Siwash hooks are used to replace the treble hook often found
on "Irons", heavy or light jigs made from Lead, brass, aluminum or other
metals. the Single hook allows more positive hook ups when jigging or casting
for various Saltwater Species... thought my Uncle Gus states that they
use them for Lake Trout in the deep, cold lakes of the Northwest Territories.
Siwash hooks are also referred to as Salmon Hooks...Pacific Salmon that is....
What is the actualy Hook you are looking for??? Maybe I have something thats
close & is a Close eye hook...

OK...screwed
up a little.
I just bought a package of Gamakatsu 10007 Open Eye
Siwash hooks
because they were the closest things to the hook needed for
a streamer
pattern I am trying to match.
Didn't realize until I
got home that these literally were OPEN EYE
hooks, they are large ring
eye hooks that have an an open gap of 1/16"
in the eye. The pattern I am
trying to match doesn't use a beadhead,
so that solution is out (seeking
to close the gap with a tied head
without ending up with a
Frankenstein).
What is the normally accepted practice to tie a
streamer head on an
open eye hook?
Why the heck does anybody make
an open eye hook in the first place?
Do I just ignore the opening and
tie on the tippet and fish as usual?
Help, please!
