phg 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2017 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
