Joe:

In addition to what Allen said; the big claim to fame with the Signature Series is; (from the Mustad catalog):

"Unparallel sharpness and strength"

"Exact proportional consistency resulting in precise scaling of fly patterns across each hook size range for a level of uniformity no other premium fly hook can guarantee".

They also have an alpha numeric code system for these hooks that simplifies figuring out what the model number refers to. By the way, all Mustad fly hooks are chemically sharpened.

Do yourself a favor and call or email Mustad and ask for a catalog. Their website leaves a lot to be desired. The new catalog is excellent with pictures of all the hooks they make; it is truly amazing and an excellent tool for choosing hooks. If you dabble in any other type of fishing besides fly fishing you?ll LOVE this catalog.
