I see a callout for using a Tiemco 200BL on the Reverse Spider pattern. This is driving me nuts because I can not find a reference to the 200BL in the Tiemco hook Charts. I can find TMC200R. Is the TMC200R the same as the 200BL? Or does the BL designator mean something different?

Also is a Diiachi 1270 the same style hook as a TMC 200BL? There is a similar Mustad Signature C53S. This just as good for tying Reverse Spiders?

Who has got the skinny on this please?

Thanks,
Rich
