    It looks like a good fit for that pattern, my only reservation would be the length of the spear on those hooks.A long slowly tapering spear is apt to get the point turned easily. A steeper taper isn't so prone to getting turned so easily. I think you can judge a make of hook by the quality of the finest wire hook they make.

    Here's a Hare's Lug 'n' Plover tied on a Hyabusa All Purpose Light size 16. You can see how much more robust the spear looks.
