A while back there was a thread on hooks and while I love Firehole 718s I agree their sizes were a bit on the large side. Today while waiting for a call I started sizing some hooks.
See the pics below. Man they are messed up, the hook sizes too The 618 sz 14 was a ten but onto Fulling Mill who I also like the 14 was a 12 and the Hanak 12 is a 10 WTF??? Finally the tried and trusted Diachi 1760 was an honest 14.
I am surprised that 3 of 4 hook sizes were out, the Firehole by 2, still a great hook, just not a classic 14. Reminds me of rod lines wts.
