Has anyone on the board tied on a hook called an umbrella hook? A guy at the flyshow gave me a couple of samples, and I tied some para BWO's up, but haven't had a chance to fish them yet.

The hook is shaped like a number 3 with a flat top, so the shank sits in the water like a anchor and keel. I threw my fly in a glass of water along with a regular parachute and it seemed to ride in the water more properly.

Anyone else have a chance to fish with them to determine if hook up is as good to better than a regular shaped hook?
