What hooks are people tying their musky flies on? I've seen Clarkaman's thread in the classifieds and see he is using Ahrex Aberdeen's and Ahrex TP610's. I typically use Gami B10S hooks in size 2/0 to 5/0. However, I have yet to tangle with a large musky on them. I have caught 5 or 6 small tigers but never a large tiger or pure strain. I'm a bit concerned that the hook may bend or be straightened out due to the long shank. However, I also need a longer shank to tie in everything I need to and create a fly that "pushes some water". I've caught some big 15-17 pound pike but a large pure strain musky could weight 50 pounds or more. I've considered Gami SL12S and Sl11-3H hooks. However, the SL12S is shorter shank and the SL11-3H doesn't have a large enough gap in my opinion.
Thanks,
