Core Hooks, Hareline's line of premium fly hooks, were they developed in partnership with Ahrex, the leading Scandinavian hook producer. The C1730 has a bent shank, down eye, bronze finish and small barb. Uses: stonefly nymphs. 25 per pack.
I love this style hook style for streamers too ride hook point up with a bead at the bend. Found the hook to be a bit weak though.

Core hooks bent too easily.
Thought I would give the Core brand a try. I had trouble with them bending too easily. If you bend them back, they become weak in the area where they originally bent. I don’t trust them.
