Micro-eggs Size 12????

Recommended Posts

Guest Ladykiller

Hey Guys,

 

Just wondering what brand and style hooks do you use for a micro-egg? I love the TMC 105's but they are only made in size 10 at the smallest. I need smaller for my trip to Arkansas this fall.

 

Any suggestions? I am looking for something in a straight eye though, preferably daiichi, tiemco, or some other high-end hook.

Hey Tim,

 

What about an Orvis 8891? It's a slightly up-turned eye, but not much. They're supposed to be a Worm/Caddis hook. I tied some in a 14, looks pretty good.

 

Kinda pricey though.

i have to agree with the eagle claw L42's. they have a wide gap and are offset. i tie all of my eggs on them. actually i believe that i have showed you a couple of them when we met up in wellston a couple of years ago.
