Chemically Sharpened Hooks
Folks that tie………?
Do you have a hook manufacturing preference? I know some styles, many actually, are only produced by one manufacture. I don’t production tie, more a hobby for myself and friends. I don’t use blind or spade eyes. But, in general, is there on brand you favor over the others? I Use a lot of Tiemco and Daichi, some Mustad. I feel the steel and chemically sharpened points are superior, but I use Gamigatsu for steelhead paterns.
No real preference.
I tie mostly for trout stream fishing, rarely larger than #8 but often all the way down to #22. Daichi and Mustad are the brands at my home fly shop, and they have what I use, so I get those, but only because they’re there. Very occasionally I will go the Internet way if there’s a good deal on hooks, if the fly shop’s out, or if I need something unusual, but I’d prefer to support my local shop. Agreed — chemically sharpened hooks are best, but in the sizes I tie the most I think all hooks are sharpened that way, so, it’s sort of not a consideration. I have a ton of hooks that have been tied into multiple flies — when they unravel (as long as they’re not bent or have the hook tip broke off) they go right back into the queue to get sharpened up and re-tied. I’m not a pro but I catch enough fish to keep me interested, and I honestly don’t think it has much to do with hook brand. If hook brand is a factor it’s got to be a tiny one. So, just give me namebrand hooks at a reasonable price, on sale once in a while, and I’m happy.
