![]() 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. -- Jarmo Hurri Commercial email countermeasures included in header email address.
