The hook cost HOW much????
$37 for ONE 19/0 hook! $45 with 24" of chain attached?????
And when you're done fishing for the day you can tow your boat trailer home with your fishing tackle! I suddenly have a whole new respect for the saltwater guys!!!!!
I'll never complain about hook prices again
Thats a bit extreme. The biggest I've bought have been 8/0 or 9/0 and they were nowhere near that price. Wonder what makes those so special.
Hi Bass Bug,
Man, that is some hook, just think about the leader that it takes to get the fly tied on that hook to turn over, and beyond that think of the size of the rooster it takes for the hackle.

That's some serious iron, 1200 lb test yahoo.
Heck with that much hook, you might as well just run the whole rooster on it like a worm!!! You know it would be cool if someone did buy one and tie a fly with it just for giggles... can anyone say wooly bugger with an attitude...???!!!

Naw,
Little bitty hook like that...that's just right for a Texas Royal Coachman Dry!
I've done some 'fun larger than reality' flies for framing as decorations in some rental cabins and the like, but 10/0 was as big as I could find then, and they were only a dollar or two apiece....5/0 Adams looks kind of cool, and a 10/0 Mickey Finn, when described as a 'delicate fly for the spring creeks', is a real hoot...

I have a popper that I tied on a 14/0 hook. I'll try to post a few pictures when I get home...Originally Posted by SteveP

It looks like the pic was taken with hook lying on a hardwood floor. Judging by the wood grain and assuming the flooring boards are standard 2.5" width....THAT HOOK IS HUGE!!!!!
Hey don01 how much are one of those?
Don01;
The hooks I have have a bull-snap instead of just a swivel at the end of the chain. Will have to find mine and take photos. Maybe this weekend.
Cheers
