Michael Brown –
These hooks are sharp and easy to tie on. I use them for nymphing in clear waters and they hold the bait well without damaging the fish. The black nickel finish looks professional and the barbless design makes fish release simple.
Boris Nolan –
Good quality for the price. The gape is wide which helps with bait retention. I found the shank is a bit short, so I ordered one size larger than expected. Still works well for small streams.
Simon Rees –
Perfect for my European-style nymphing setup. The hooks stay sharp and don’t snag. I’ve used them for several weeks and they haven’t lost their edge. Great value for 24 hooks.
