RE: [VFB] Davidcraft hooks?

These are “spade” eye hooks.  The spade is there to facilitate snelling.  This link : www.carpanglersgroup.com/hooks.html with telll you more about the different types of hooks and how and why they are made the way they are.   Tom   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2003 7:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [VFB] Davidcraft hooks?   A neighbor and I got to talking about fishing and he described some eyeless hooks he had lying around in his garage. I thought they might be blind eye hooks for tying salmon flies. The next day he gave me literally hundreds of hooks, packed by size and then bagged by type. They are made by "Davidcraft". The hooks don't have eyes, the point where the eye should be is just crimped flat. I have never seen hooks like this before. Anyone know what they are used for? Mark Kowal
