Thanks Nic and Kevin... excellent help.  Lefty Kreh also likes the
bendback hook for tying streamers that skim over the tops  of weedbeds
without hanging up.  The style also hides the hook point.  Now that I
know what hook style numbers to look for, I'll get some to play with
this winter for the "tying season".
