eastern fly 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2013 Got mine Saturday! I too was under the impression that hooks were coming with! Oh well. It sounds like #2's are a pretty common hook. All look great. Cant remember who made it but I was quite excited to get a chart/white squidtruder! That would be from Phish. Its a great pattern. I posted a pic of mine. I bought hooks for mine but elected not to send them. We had problems with shipping weights. Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flytyinfreak 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2013 My set showed up today, and boy howdy am I impressed! What a great set of flies! Just wanted to tell you gentleman that my blue meany is loaded with UV material for low light conditions, either early in the morning or late in the evening. That fly pulls em up from the bottom and out from cover like crazy! just be patient you'll get a lot of slashes and rolls with it. What's really awesome is the variation in color scheme and size, from SJO's kick ass mintruder (probably one of the first that will see the water) to Kevins Dlicious Orange and black. Don't think because I didn't name A fly tht I think less of ANY of them. In fact I am going to display them at my tying station at the Eastern Idaho Fly tying Expo this weekend. Just think guys, your flies will get seen by guys like Al Ritt, Steve Fernandez, Scott Sanchez, Mike Lawson, Marty Howard, Poppy Cummins, etc etc . Don't freak out, just smile and walk away boys, smile and walk away.......... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
