Length of Pike Flies

[fishbum]

Have you ever used these hooks for pike flies? 100ct. Mustad 4/0 Needle Point 91706N, Spinnerbait Hooks, Ringed Eye Hook

I never have. I am a big fan of the Gamakatsu and Owner hooks for pike and musky flies.

I was trying to figure out what I used on the ones in the pictures. Top one is tied on a 2/0 Gamakatsu 60 degree Jig hook. The middle one is tied on a 3/0 Eagle Claw gold Aberdeen hook. Bottom one is tied on a 4/0 Partridge barbless Pike hook. Not a big fan of Mustad. I like Gamakatsu, Owner and Eagle Claw. Spinner bait hooks, spinner bait trailer hooks, Long shank worm hooks

What do you typically use for a leader?

50# test Seaguar fluorocarbon for both pike and musky. I will sometimes back of to 30# test Seaguar fluorocarbon for pike knowing I might get cut off once in awhile.

I was at Walmart and I bought Eagle Claw 3/0 O'Shaughnessy Hooks on which to tie some pike flies. They're ring-eye and silver. They should be fin to tie some flies, right?
