J2 430 Multi-Use Curved Hook

This hook is in the recipe of a lot of the more prominent tiers doing tying videos. I follow their instructions so I bought this hook and it works fine for me just as recommended.

I use these hooks for a lot of terrestrials. Notably, I use it in size #10 for Stimulators. I drift em, swing em, drown em and strip em.

I opened a brand new pack of size 20's to tie up 6 slim shady's... I managed to get 2 completed flies, and 3 broken hooks before chucking the rest of the pack into the trash... I guess I'll be doing the same with the size 22 and 24's
