bowfin47 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2007 Oldfart, I still like turned down eyes for those sizes... but don't use "turned up" eyes, as they will not hook on many takes... I speak from experience! Bowfin47 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WYKnot 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2007 I really like the Big Eye or enlarged eye hooks in sizes 20-24. Only wish the Tiemco 2487 or equivalent fine wire curved scud hook had a large eye option. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevCompton 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2007 I'll have to check this again, but I believe Grip Hooks from ScientificFly in South Africa has a fine wire scud hook down to a #20 with a larger eye, which anglers in South Africa need for the larger tippets they use with smaller flies to hook yellowfish. http://scientificfly.com/show_prod.php?pro...&category=1 What are anyone's favorite small fly hooks? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mato Kuwapi 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2007 I'm not about to argue with the likes of A.K. Best....but I'm just thinking laws of physics here.... If I pull up an a down eyed hook...the hook point SHOULD go down, making it more available for hook ups. Just a stupid momentary theory of mine...after two beers. I tie a lot of small flies. I like fishing them....though I have no clue why since I can't see the little &%$#ers. I don't have too much trouble hooking up if I can actually see the take.
