These are exceedingly sharp hooks. Silky smooth and easy to tie on. They have a great finish a wide gap and will stick a fish nicely.
They are a great value for the money you invest in them. Your Wooly Buggers will never be better than when they are tied on these. I've been tying for 45 years and the few hooks I've seen that compare to these cost twice the price.
Highly recommend.
I put the Firehole 839BL to the test on the Memorial Day opening weekend in Yellowstone on their namesake Firehole River. Number 2 Shreks performed exceptionally well on these hooks. The wide gap and shorter shank meant most fish were hooked cleanly along the front of the lip and hooks were exceptionally easy to remove from the fish. They stayed sharp through dozens of fish that came from opening day high water conditions. Tension must be kept on the fish as a few were lost during wild jumps but that’s just a lesson to learn with barbless hooks. They are very easy to tie on and would recommend their use for any streamer style pattern.
