I just got these 317's in sizes 18 and 20, specifically for tying Rainbow Warriors, and they are amazing! I've used other barbless hooks, but trust me when I say that nothing comes close to these guys. They really are stupid sharp, and I got them 2 days prior to the expected delivery date, which was a nice surprise. I definitely recommend giving them a shot if you haven't already!
I strictly use firehole for both fishing and show flies. They are extremely well constructed, nice black nickel finish, large eye, and have a wider hook gap that looks very good. The barbless is also a huge plus for our fish friends.
I particularly use this 317 for my larger drake patterns with detached body. But can be used for any klinkhammer or nymph pattern.
Wow! Recently received the Firehole sticks and they will become my Go-to hooks. These are perfect for perdition style flies on these hooks. I found the hooks true to the expected size and the standard hook eye allowed for matching beads. Barbless saves me from taking time to crush the hooks in the vice to get the bead on. I much prefer these to some other barbless brand hooks. I waited until I had a chance to fish these before writing the post. Went out and started hit some older flies and had some hook setting "issues" . Put on a newly tied perdition and Bang! Each hook set true. They started off sharp and seemed to stay that way. Will be adding these to my box as I replace other hooks.
