I sorted hooks a while back and when I had similiar
hooks, I combined them into the kind I had more of and
used that label. Goes against my anal nature, but
worked fine.

I know this is an oldie but I am trying to sort out
thousands of hooks and my hook gauge isn't working per
the bend/gap/shank ratios.  Yes, I know we now have
wide gap(e) and all the combinations but how do you
sort into a mere 80 bins over 100 variations unless
they are distinctively different?  What do I do when a
#10 standard dry from company X is the same as a #12
from company Y and both companies are considered
respectable?

Then there is z X short versus w X long plus wire
guage and so many variations that I am lost on just
the basics.  Do I take an old standby like Mustand to
determine my standard or go the other way around the
globe?

Let's see... add barbless and you double the
variation, wet versus nymph can equal the same hook
except... and we bend them to get scud, stonefly,
swimming nymph....   Arghhhhh!  Advice... ANYBODY!
