spin vs fly fishing hooks?
i was wondering, how important is it to use fly hooks? i am new to tying, and fly fishing, but i have noticed (usually after getting snagged on a tree and recovering mind u) that i sometimes break the tippet right on the hook sometime during the cast. (it is still on after i get it down from the tree lol)
however, the flies ive tied with a Mustad hook seem to not have the same problem when posed with the same stress.... the hooks in question are Eagle Claw in this case, i use them for spin fishing, and they hold up fine, cast after cast, fish after fish. (except on submerged trees! lol) is this coincidence? or am i onto something here.
