Holey Head Hook

Recommended Posts

I don't get it, is this for added weight. why not just use a bead? it still is a very cool process in the fabrication.

innovation and cost factor maybe?

When we apply soldering the shank of the hook is longer than the bead head

 

Gives a little more room to tie on materials ... hmmm ... that makes sense.

thank you for taking the time and effort in creating this video

 

a nice alternative to weighting a hook

 

its not for everybody but for those who want to try something different than just adding a bead

 

using a longer shank hook when tying bead head flies, the fly can have the same proportions as a non bead head fly
