    Byron, nice looking hook. I sometimes prefer a short shank to achieve a larger gape in perspective. I use the TMC 921. MFC also makes a 1x short that I haven't tried yet. No answer to your question.
    Chewy,
    I agree!!! I normally use either Dai-Riki or Tiemco hooks or Daiichi or Gamatksu (sp?) or Kamazan(sp?). I would not call them cheap hooks.
    These Alec Jackson hooks are obviously good hooks. However, I prefer a longer shank hook for my soft hackles.
