When the good SBS presentations are made, the author will very nicely list all the materials but designate the hook using a specific brand and catalog number. It would seem more appropriate to designate the hook simply by size, hook type (dry, wet, nymph, scud, streamer and maybe shank length). To say a hook is a Tiemco #xxx means nothing to those who don't use that brand. To look it up in an equivalence chart is very discouraging.
