Tying Hooks

[AlanB]

There's about as much standardization between hook manufacturers as between thread. Uni 6/0 (bonded poly) looks like rope compared to Danville 6/0 (flat nylon); the "ought" designation is pretty arbitrary from one company to the next and confusing to new tyers.

...And stuck to by none! 1 more ought indicates half the size. Is any manufacturer's 8/0 1/4 the size of its 6/0?
With hooks it would be good if we could at least have consistency within a manufacturer's range.

Cheers,
