    Default Cross reference hook spread sheet..

    Has anyone ever run across a spread sheet or hook comparison chart that compares hooks by different manufactures? For example the basic dry fly hook from Mustard is a #98480 the same hook from Tiemco is a _______? from Stockard it's a #105 and so forth.... I buy a lot of hooks and shopping around can be really confusing.... A comparison table would really be helpful...

    Of less utility than you might think because for example the Mustad 98480 is not the same as the Tiemco 100 at all in terms of size nor proportions (even though most charts will list them as equivalents) only in terms of use (i.e. both mainstream dry fly hooks). Might have some use for beginners, but for the most part you are better off knowing you need a 1XF hook than a series of random manufacturer model numbers. YMMV.
