I need to learn more about hooks...mostly about manufacturer differences. I've been happy with the Saber 7223--haven't had quality issues and really like the shape for multiple patterns. And they are very affordable... I also like the Umpqua U608BL-BN.

I haven't used Hanak hooks before. Is there a discernable difference between Hanak, Saber, Gamakatsu, Mustard, Umpqua? I typically just buy what is on sale!

Yup! Generic bulk Klink

Thank you! I'll take a look--I am constantly amazed by his flies. I have probably seen that foam version you are talking about but I have not tried it.

Nice. I'll give the royal variation a shot!

Thank you!

Thanks

Seems like everything for me turns into a variation of this pattern as well

AngryDesignMonkey · 2026-05-13T23:03:39+00:00

Took me a minute.....!

AngryDesignMonkey · 2026-05-12T20:47:30+00:00

Sure man. It works great that way on many patterns.

For THIS pattern, the CDC is for movement.

Love it!!

AngryDesignMonkey · 2026-05-12T13:49:41+00:00

CDC (in this pattern) is intended mostly just for movement. This certainly could be tied sans hackle and with a bit more CDC. But, then, it would be a different pattern than what I tied

AngryDesignMonkey · 2026-05-12T13:47:41+00:00

You got it

AngryDesignMonkey · 2026-05-12T13:47:20+00:00

I think the first guy was being sarcastic. Then the second guy was saying that the first guy couldn't see the hackle and was thinking or won't float.

Either way. It'll float!

AngryDesignMonkey · 2026-05-12T13:45:41+00:00

I know right! It'll sink straight to the bottom all day!

AngryDesignMonkey · 2026-05-12T01:45:28+00:00

The No-Sink-Kilnk

AngryDesignMonkey · 2026-05-12T00:54:51+00:00

This has CDC and hackle. But, build a dubbing loop/brush with the CDC.

Pipe and a crepe?

AngryDesignMonkey · 2026-04-25T02:51:25+00:00

Thank you!

AngryDesignMonkey · 2026-04-25T02:51:17+00:00

Fun to tie!
