Why did I do that?

Rick,
Grand read. We are NOT nearly so organized....nor inclined to be desirous of such. http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif
Aberdeen hooks...we like'em too. We used to grab a box here and there in various "bargain bins" in the area. They seem to be GONE, generally, from the local and handy area. Probably not much call anymore. Glad they're still listed in most of the catalogues.
Size 10's and 12's.....YES! Do you find #6's to be handy too? Grand "light wire" hooks. http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif

Yes the flasher pattern in my crappie favorites is tied on that size hook. also do some streamer nymphs and Marabou Misses on them.
