Who makes the longest streamer (straight eye) hooks and how long is it?

[Jaydub 0]

Partridge CS15 Carrie Stevens streamer hook is 10XL and up to 2/0 size. It's not a straight eye though.

I'm trying to find some about 2" long with a ring eye (straight eye) and a dark finish. Having no luck so far.

2 inches long .... the only hooks I know like that are saltwater hooks.

 

You could get what you want by making articulated hooks with the point on the rear portion.

I needed more than a long hook to deal with the last couple Bridgeport Snappers I encountered.....

Daiichi 2461 in 3/0 is just under 2"

Partridge attitude streamer in 4/0 is exactly 2"

 

Those lengths are total length from tip of the eye to back of the bend

I am curious as to what you are tying. The longest streamer hook is a Partridge CS15 Carrie Stevens but it is a down eye. Length depends on the size of the hook. You can straighten the eye but I don't know why you need a straight eye. I am curious.

Do they need to be straight eye? I have a box of Mustad 79580 size 1 that are 2 inches long but are not straight eye.

I took a look at what I have in my tying room and I do have a straight-eyed bronze streamer hook. My guess is they're a size 2 and they measure 1 3/4 inches. Unfortunately the box they came in is long gone. They're either Daiichi or Da-riki. I also have an Eagle Claw light wire cricket hook, the size 6 is the same length as the size 2 streamer hook. The Tiemco is in the same size range but the eye is slightly down turned. The size 2 pencil popper hook is close to 2 inches but it has a kinked shank. I've moved away from using the long shank hooks because I think they give a fish, particularly one that jumps like a smallmouth, too much leverage and moved to the articulated shanks or similar ones that are used with long jig molds. Add a split ring and a hook and can make poppers or crease flies that are 3 to 4 inches long.

Kelly Galloup mentions he believes the straight eye gives better action. So I decided to use the same he does.

I do believe orivis has the hook for you.

There 6/0 hooks were at least 2" long, straight eye, and dark finish. Take a look.

Check the Mustad R75S-9674

 

Perhaps a size 1 or larger. I have some of the older 9674 in a couple sizes but not sure how long they are. I would have to check, but seems the size 1 might be about 2" long
