Re: [VFB] Hook ?

[Brian Van Erem]

3 comments from the peanut gallery...

 

1) I agree, extra weight at the head of the fly is a poor idea.  Ease of threading is not worth the trade off.

 

2) Also, a #22 fly is going to present poorly on 5x or thicker tippet. 

 

3) I have used white river hooks.  I don't want to bash, but I found them brittle -- I broke two in the vise, a few on shrubs, and one on a fish.  They are my last resort, in case I NEED a size sold out in the name brands. 

 

My 2 cents,

 

Brian
