danthebugman 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2021 I bought some Fish Skull Baitfish Heads in size small this weekend along with some B10s in size 6 and 8. My plan was to make some micro articulated streamers for some of the creeks I fish. However, the hook eye on the B10s is too large to go through the slot on the Baitfish Head. I tried some other streamer hooks I have, but they have a bent eye and the Baitfish Head wouldn't seat properly. So...what's your favorite hook to use with these things?

flytire 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2021 maybe you can enlarge the hole to fit? from flymen website Small Fits hook sizes #8, #6, #4. Weight: 0.48 grams (0.017 ounces). Small/Medium Fits hook sizes #4, #2, #1. Weight: 0.79 grams (0.028 ounces). Medium Fits hook sizes #2, #1, 1/0. Weight: 1.26 grams (0.044 ounces). Large Fits hook sizes 2/0, 3/0, 4/0. Weight: 2.46 grams (0.087 ounces). Note: Baitfish Heads have been sized using standard-length streamer hooks as a reference point. However, due to the wide variance in hook sizes and shapes found between the different hook manufacturers, this only provides general guidance to the hook sizes suitable for each size head. We suggest you experiment to find the optimum hook for the particular streamer pattern you wish to tie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they fit on a #4 B10s I would expect them to fit on a smaller size. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
