absolutely love these hooks in size 1 for large trout streamers. incredibly strong; can't bend them even with heavy GSP thread under massive tension. perfect hook gap, which allows for adding more materials without crowding the gap, and also adds a great keel for jerk flies with bulky laser dub heads. it isn't too long, to the point where you worry about losing fish from the extra leverage of a long shank. it's frankly perfect. I also use the regular ahrex trout predator hook in size 2, and I really like that hook too, but the proportions on the TP615 long hook are my favorite.
at 10 for $7.95, they're ultimately a good value for a heavy predator streamer hook. I use other cheaper hooks when I'm trying out a new pattern or technique, and I use these for the patterns that I'm confident in.
