With the recent big update on flyhooks.org I want to point you towards some of the streamer hooks that I received. I got a lot of these from a person that knows a lot about classic streamers and hooks, so getting a envelope full of hooks from him was like christmas and birthday at the same time!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Daiichi 2370 #2<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Gamakatsu Russian River #2<\/a><\/p>\n

The Russian River is a beast of a hook: the build quality is great and can only be described as one of the toughest streamer hooks I have ever had between my fingers (together with the B-17 below).<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Gaelic Supreme M.M.C.S #1<\/a><\/p>\n

A interesting hook since it exists in 3 sizes: 6xl<\/a>, 8xl<\/a> and this 10xl<\/a> version, this makes it possible to track the difference in XL sizes across what is the same hook.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Mustad B-17 #2\/0<\/a><\/p>\n

Another streamer hook that I would trust for very large fish, but the pure weight of just the hooks, and the dimensions of this hook would make it hard to throw with a conventional\u00a0flyrod.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Allcock BG3 #2<\/a><\/p>\n

One from a legendary company, nice lines and a good quality build. Does not have a looped eye though, something I would do on a hook this size and dimension.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Sealey 1762.B #3\/0<\/a><\/p>\n

A interesting hook from Sealey: very lon shank with a wide gape compared to the other hooks in this category<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Mustad 94720 #2<\/a><\/p>\n

A nice Mustad hook that deserves a place here together with the other streamer hooks.<\/p>\n

Take a look at flyhooks.org and the search<\/a>\u00a0to filter out the streamers or the where the shank length is longer than your traditional hook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
