eide 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2018 Try it! Learn a lot about material and how they behave! I think I will. Eide ... what is that harpoon thing behind your fly?It is a custom dubbing needle from Yasuhiro Ogasawara, one of the best hook makers around! I thought for sure that was a not yet bent blind eye hook blank. Perhaps it was made from one? He creates all hooks from scratch, so this is from the same process - you could bend it and work it to get a blind-eye hook, yes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
