Hello all,

I am planning to tie a set of Rangeley-style streamers. I need to have
streamers which have large silhouette, but which I can cast with a 5wt
or a 6wt line. At least one magazine articles stated that
Rangeley-style streamers would be good for this purpose. (If you have
strong doubts about this, please let me know.)

What I need to do now is to select which hooks I will use. The page

http://globalflyfisher.com/streamers...ooks/hooks.htm

gives a pretty good overview of the different types of hooks
available. Naturally, my desire to use relatively light line weights
biases me towards those hooks made of thinner wire. But, my question
is, does a thin-wire hook make the streamer more prone to swim on its
side?

The much recommended Mike Martinek -hooks are not available (at least
locally), but we do have Partridge CS-15 (heavy wire), TMC 300 (medium
heavy) and maybe also Mustad 94720 (light). And of course anything can
be ordered from the web nowadays.
