Fishing Hooks
the wrong hook! "So and so", says in his book that " "$%&&$§$ Nr 15678956
MUST be used, or it wont work". I felt rather sorry for him. I somehow doubt that the fish care at all. TL MC My best guess would be that fish would prefer hookless hooks. ) /Thomas |

hooks, with an eye at both ends Scott I think our own Roger Ohlund used them at the Cabin Run on Penns last week. It was impressive. Teased 9 fish including some over 20". -- Frank Reid Reverse Email to reply |

"Warren" wrote in message ... SNIP I am not sure that I want to wish you a speedy recovery right now because I am really curious about the process and equipment used to make hooks. ;-) I was unable to find anything on the web and was wondering if you had any links that you could provide or the time to explain the process, equipment, etc. The idea of being able to make my own hooks is kind of appealing but I am unsure whether the costs and time involved really warrant a new "hobby." -- Warren (oh hell, get well soon Mike!:-) (use troutbum_mt on either yahoo or earthlink to respond via email) I have an article on it somewhere, with jig plans, tempering instructions etc. I will see if I can find it for you. It is probably on one of my backup discs. Making hooks is not very difficult, just requires a little bit of practice. Obtaining the wire can be difficult, but one may also use pins, needles etc. It is best to start with larger hooks of course. The tempering also takes a little practice, but is not difficult either. Actually the most difficult part of the whole exercise is cutting the barb. If you use barbless hooks, then it is a lot easier. I will have a look through my discs. TL MC |

On 26 May 2004, you wrote in rec.outdoors.fishing.fly:

As I recall, the simplest bending jigs took advantage of the barb to grab the hook and bend it, and it is more difficult to correctly bend a barbless hook. The article I saw didn't address how to make barbless hooks. Scott |

Do you have any pictures of hooks that you've made? Willi |

: Interesting, I was thinking that forming the eye would be harder. The article I saw just recommended a widening flat area near the end of the hook, and just snell the hook. Way easier than making an eye Scott |
