even mustad hooks....

Recommended Posts

Aah, you found one of the old blind eye hooks....

 

Yup, I've found a few, over the years, as well. I guess you could snell on a gut loop the way the salmon fly tiers do, but I usually just pitch them. Mustad is sort of like Stanley planes, never the best quality, but good enough quality at a reasonable price.

I got a 1000 pack of gamakatsu's once, and about 30 of them were messed up. Haha. I guess not too bad, but still...

I agree, that would make a great blind-eye hook with that little nub on the end!
