hooks- what-r-u-usin'?

[aquabone]

just wonderin' what fellow tyin' types are using for hooks these days?

i've been mostly tyin' on dai-riki hooks...
specific- #125, 300, 280, 070, 135, 700, 285 (trout stuff)

i'll be stockin' up on hooks and would appreciate any input on something i might be missing- brands/styles that other might find good for their tyin'/fishin' needs.

maybe some different hooks could spur new ideas.
thanks!

I'm cheap, so if they're on sale and any quality at all I'll be using them. Otherwise, I use a lot of Mustads and Cabela's store brand for my all-around dry and nymph needs. I've gone to circle hooks for most of my streamer patterns and about the only ones I can find are the Mustads so those are the ones I use.

Well I didnt post anything THERE because of his categories. With the exception of some items such as Griffiths knats and such...I tie 99.9% small drys from "about" #12 to #18 with an occasional #20 tossed in.

No wets..or saltwater...etc. Trout drys or small flies for bluegills and such

Well I am a she, not a he...but it is an understandable mistake. No problem about having a very similar thread. Sometimes I do that too. The info put out so far has been tremendous, and I thank everyone who has taken the time to help me out with this info. (and aquabone too)

Sorry 'bout that!!

I have mostly Mustad 3906 and 3399's for my bluegill and trout flies. Mustad 9672's for a good chunk of my streamers. Otherwise. My hook stash consists of Dai-Riki, Cabelas, Bass Pro, Daiichi, and Tiemco.
Generally I try and find quality hooks as cheap as I can... Whatever brand that happens to be is dependent on the day. I lean toward Mustads 99% of the time!

Im a Dia-Riki fan. The 125 is my go to for size 12-18 nymphs.
