rockworm 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2016 Similar hooks. The main difference is the bend. But the barb and the finish also set them apart: A J Soft Hackle Hook: 1x Fine, 2x Short, Straight-Eye, forged, Limerick Bend, Chemically Sharpened (needle point, mini-barb). Nickel-Silver finish. Tiemco 2488: 1x Fine, 2x Short, Straight-Eye, forged, Circular bend with 3x Wide Gape, Chemically Sharpened, bronze finish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
