Great hook,
March 28, 2013
By: Gnatbagger
from Omaha, NE
"Great dry fly hook. Bought 25...should have bought the 50 pack. Very sharp, seems to be stronger than the other hooks I used for tying...doesn't give as easily when pulling thread. Have just started tying flys and will continue to buy the Orvis brand. Thanks."

"So far no one has mentioned why I have switched to Orvis.
AMERICAN MADE!
Highest quality and good selection.
Just had to erase some of my post after reading what to aviod.
So, some OTHER makers are not made in the USA. Understand?"

"Super lightweight hooks for my killer parachute CDC.
I try to tie them single plume so light hooks are a must!
However would like to see them barbless!!"

Hooked on Goldheads.,

By: Buzzer
"This is one of the few hooks which will take a gold bead without damaging the barb. Goldheaded Dawson's Olive lures tied on these hooks work brilliantly on our trout lakes right through the season. Try them!"
