worms, emergers. I like this hook and tied a dozen beadhead emergers yesterday. They look great with ribbing and ostrich wound behind the bead. I also dubbed some bodies with dryer lint and they look great as well. Bet I catch fish with them. In my youth I caught dozens of pike using this hook and yes it is originally a bait hook. I noticed recently that a flyshop owner had a bunch of emergers tied on this hook and that is why I ordered mine from Hook and Hackle. They look nice and are fun to tie.

size 6 & 8 - how about a frog or crayfish?
