Grifish Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 JBeck. Thanks for hosting! Got mine today, I was on vac with the better half. Mine is the sickly #4. A March Brown soft hackle. Everyone else's looks great! I might get to use them before the week has ended. That rabbit strip matuka is heading to Alaska come June! Link to post Share on other sites

Grifish Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 JK that looks like a real nice hook, what is it? Link to post Share on other sites
JK SE PA Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I honestly don't remember the number of it, but it is a TMC size 4, 3x or 4x long. I'm too new to this to remember what hooks I use for what flies, by number. I can go into my box and grab one but if I had to sit and order one or tell someone which to use, I'm SOL. Sorry.
