- get the TMC 2488.


I d/loaded a .pdf of Tiemco's catalog and it looks like a nice hook. I've
used curved hooks only for caddis as Mike suggested and half-in half-out
emergers as Willi noted, in the past and I've decided that is the only real
use I plan for the future. If he won't eat a BHFBPT on a straight hook, I
ain't going to catch him <G>

I prefer barbless hooks and a couple places I fish the warden is very picky
about it, using panty hose to see if any catches to determine if you are
'de-barbed enough. Have you ever tried the TMC 206 BL?

I've never specifically looked but I don't remember seeing TMC 2488 hooks in
my travels ... where are you getting them?
