Her´s a trick if you use long wing flies and fix them up with double or treble hooks. To avoid serious entanglement in the fork of the hook - Set a blob of glue in the fork..We use Loon UV glue - A good trick than can save yo a lot of agony
See our Sunray Shadow & Collie Dog page for more information on long haired flies ...
Owner STD 36BC size 8 is one hell of a hook - Owners hooks are awesome but this one takes the prize in its category - With its flat design it is similar to the design the UK company SPRITE has on their awesome conventional double hooks. This flatten design on the gape part of the hook allows the hook to find hook-hold in the skin of the jaw - rather than starting to penetrate bone. The design makes the hook set itself in a superior manner that is quite astonishing...From my point of view one of the best double tube fly hooks on the market...
Maruto 8265 # 3 a hook I found the other day browsing through the shelfs in a small shop in Copehagen - Looks kind of neat and will work with larger patterns like The Tube Rat or other Bass Bug flies tied on tube..
I will return with a closeup soon - hook size: Gape like a normal single 6 Shank : Like a 8 or 10

This and the other TMC 2499SP-BL (# 6) Are just fantastic hooks - and we are working to get them in our shop... The hook abilities are supper ...and in design we are getting close to the perfect Tube-Fly Hook (According to us not made yet) - But take this TMC 2499SP-BL Series make them a bit bigger say size 4 and 5 - with a bit shorter shank..then the salmon and steelhead community has the right hook for tube flies..
We recommend that TIEMCO make some...
