Mustad R50 versus 94840

[Royal Wulff]

i've never used anything but Mustad in 50 years of fly tying, although I always used 94833 fine wire instead of 94840 for my dry flies. I don't even know what the equivalent is in their new series because I acquired enough 94833's to last through two lifetimes.

90% of my tying is on Mustad hooks. Over the years I have substituted many of them with Orvis hooks (which appear to be Daichi?) since the closest shop to me is an orvis shop. However, I in no way consider Mustad to be inferior & I much prefer the shank length on the 94840 over the rest.
