Swimming Nymph Hooks

You can get sponsored for tying??!!

I'll happily sit in a branded hat while I tie ma flees if it gets me a few quid/some free feathers  :lol:

unfortunately there isn't a tongue-in-cheek smiley, Andy  :wink: and Fred's not rising either

Just like any sensible fish I don't rise to sponsored flies Dave, both prefer my own patterns.   :

:lol:

must find partridge skip hat

If you find any partridge hooks while at the skip I'd advise you to leave them there.   :lol:

I was thinking of timing up some damsel type nymphs and thought this type of hook might provide base. Don't think I Have never knowingly use a hook that fished upside down. Had also considered that the shape may provide added "wiggle", might still give it ago.

The hooks I have seen are produced by Mustad but will have a better look for alternatives if I go ahead with this scheme.

have a look at the Tiemco 403BLJ, Robbie. only one bend, but a very decent hook. absolute bastard to dress...  :lol:

These are the ones I have.

A very fine wired hook but as Dave says a bastard to tie with.
