Streamer hook sizes?

Recommended Posts

Help me obi-wan kenobi - please.  I'm trying to size these streamer hooks. 

1) just shy 2" length, 7/16" gape

2) 1.5 inch length, 1/2" gape

Thanks.  Taking inventory to try and figure out what I can try to tie...

The 2" long is similar to a #2 Mustad 5x long straight eye streamer hook, the 1 1/2" is more like a Mustad 3366 #1 or slightly larger general purpose fly hook , I use these for bass flies or short streamer / Clouser type flies with the wider gap or tied to ride hook up for bunnies and such. hope this helps.

Awesome. Thank you. Given the abundance of Mustad hooks in my inherited arsenal that makes sense. /Clayton

The smaller one looks exactly like the Gamakatsu B10S I have.  Mine is a 6 and it's an inch long. I use it mostly as a stinger for articulated streamers.
