    Default "Ultra Light Wire Hooks": Suggestions ?


    Hi Folks,

    Looking for hooks somewhat thinner (smaller diameter) than what Eagle Claw, and others generally
    term "Light Wire Hooks".

    Perhaps "Ultra Light" Wire Hooks is the correct term ?

    Size would be 1 or 1/0. Regular Aberdeen, or even better would be a "Long Shank Aberdeen"

    Don't need a lot; a dozen or two would take me to the season's end.

    Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

    Thanks, as always,
    Bob

    Eagle Claw and Mustad makes a "litewire Hook" with the 90 degree turn.......been pouring them for many years. As far as a straight shank hook......I have had many requests and several years ago tried to order 100,000 but when the first came and they were not litewire.......I cancelled the order. I use Aberdeen when I want a lighter hook.

    Try heating the blue steel Mustads to break the temper and they will bend better.

    Also use a smaller hook to snag less.
