mikechell 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2018 Go to Eide's site ... http://flyfisher.org/2018/01/flyhooks-org-crossing-1000-hook-pictures/ ... I don't know if he's got those hooks, but I think he's over 1000 hooks now, for comparisons. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FIN-ITE 34 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2018 The current Gami C12-BM Stock # 277497-25 is a barbless midge big eye hook. The Daiichi 1100 is a a big eye hook also, but that is where the similarity ends. The Daiichi is a straight shank where the Gami is curved. I have both hooks in size 26 and the Daiichi shank length is about 2-2 1/2 times longer than the Gami, but that is a judgment call because of the different shank shapes.

robbor 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2018 Sorry for the mixup. I just started tying but I have been using daiichi 1110 hooks for ice jigs and just bare hooks so I have some around. I'm looking for a pic with a c12-bm next to another hook to see how small they actually are. Like say a c12-bm next to a size 20 dry fly or what ever you might have Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
