What's in your vise?

Grenier's Hope
 
Have you fished (caught fish) on the 226? If so, has it held up? At one point I tied up a bunch of flies on that general style--not sure if it was the 2487 or the non-h 2488, and those things would open up even on very modest fish (like 10" or 12"). Really frustrating. I think it was the 2487, as I remember speculating that the down eye was making the leverage angle worse.

But the 2488h is a great hook. Makes it a little tougher to keep flies svelte, but it doesn't bend out at all.
Got hooks form Italy this Spring. Going to East Kootenays soon and will report back.
