Good info on the hooks and numbers Glenn, Thanks! I think I am going to tie on a small sample of a number of these to see which I like the best. I do know that I prefer hooks that are not light wire. I throw away a fortune in flies every season because the hooks bend open (and I use mostly #16-#20 Daiichi, Tiemco and DaiRiki in that order). Losing fish because the hook bends is a nice problem to have, but the batting average could be improved, and I think heavier wire would be helpful.
