    Default partridge 15bn hook size?

    Does anybody know if the 15bn hooks run approximately the same size as T2487? It seems like I ordered some hooks I didn't know about once and they were way different size than I thought they should be. In other words, would a fly tied on a 14 partridge 15bn look about like a 14 Tiemco 2487?

    The 15BN sizes run very large. I have a pack of size 20 15BNs and the shanks are longer than a size 14 2487.

    the partridge is designed as a klinkhammer hook and the tiemco is not. 2 different shapes, although similar. i'd say the sizes will be different.

    Glad I asked - sounds like the 20 might be what I want.
