I have been tying flies on Jig Head hooks for a while. I like the way they drift with the hook point up (less snags) . The hooks come in sizes based on weight 1/124 to 1/80 . There are three finishes gold ,nickel and plain lead . I paint the plain lead. The paint lasts about as long as the flies do. One downside is that the hook itself is not very good quality . I have done well fishing these flies indicator and Euro - Nymphing .
