flyman 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2004 It's a size 14 TMC 400T/swimming nymph. It's a light wire hook that comes shaped like that right out of the pack. After I place the hook in the vice I do "gently" push down at the eye to open the gap just a little bit. Some mfgs hooks can be bent quite a bit, Tiemco isn't one of them. The tempering is so hard that you can't bend them much without breaking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thibodeau 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2004 nice Emerger pattern. I tie them in gray and olive size 14,16. to match whats around my waters. Very good for selective feeding trout. tie them with a trailing shuck of crystal or ice dubbing antron, And hold on tight!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
