C1730 Stonefly Nymph Fly Hook

The shape is perfect for a stonefly but some of the hooks I got bent really easy. But since that order I haven’t had that problem and I check every time now. So, possibly a batch that wasn’t heat treated. Still keeping an eye to find sizes 8-10-12 in a Daiichi.

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.

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.
