I've been tying some stuff for about a month now. But when I tried to look at those #22 scud hooks, my eyesight failed. I had to drive home by braille. My mother always warned me that my face would stick like the face I was making, I didn't realize she meant a squinting face too.
I am still working on my cheapo vice, and I don't even think it would hold those hooks.

I did tie ten practice midges last night, using up what I thought were tiny hooks that I knew I'd never use. After seeing those #22s at the store today, I understand that the hooks I tied on are bigger versions of TINY.

I'll take a picture of the ones I tied ... if you can use them, I'll send them.

My apologies.
We regularly use zebra midges of size 16, 18 & 20's as well. Not sure if those are large enough for you. They dont have to be 22's. I hardly tie any that small

I appreciate the effort!
