What are some good brands of Spey Hooks

[FishDragon 0]

Hi

 

I am looking for some spey hooks. Also looking for a place to buy some. Any help would be great.

 

I am leaning towards the Alec Jackson Dai Ichi from canadianllama.com as his price is pretty good but just wondering what else there is to pick and choose from?

 

Thanks

Dave

The AJs are my first choice. He also packages some very nice silk for Spey flies. (Or maybe I should say, he did the last time I bought from him- maybe ten years ago?)

Dave McNeese's Blue Heron Spey Hooks are great you can get them here http://www.stoneriveroutfitters.com/browse.cfm/dave-mcneeses-blue-heron-spey-hooks/4,2535.html

Yeah i totally go for the AJ's never had an issue with them, just been messing around with some 2131's too with the tiny return wire but i like how you get a range of hooks from light wire low water to heavy wire beasts. I tried the partridge brand but actually had a few issues with them in the past including misformed hooks in the pack. The AJ's suit all the USA/ Can ties nicely.

 

My size 8's are tiemco, can't quite remember model off the top of my head but they are decent too. Llama company is a good choice.

I use AJ's for steelhead flies. They are not spey style, but I also use a lot of TMC 7999 and 7989 for hairwings and skaters.

The AJ hooks are nice and come in a range of sizes

 

The blue heron hooks are my favorite... but they are only available in large sizes
