Today was Mustad day, and I’m halfway through the ones I have.
In total 28 new pictures uploaded to flyhooks.org, and I have another 27 to go later this week if I get the time for it. Some hooks now have more than one picture, this is really showing the information that is gathered here: look at c71snp-ss that have 6 different sizes available to see how it evolves through the sizes.
Added new functionality tonight: if you are on a page with images of the hook you can now click on the image and get a gallery-view of all the sizes of that hook. Look at f314, for example.
Today the time was come to do some A.Jensen, Akita and Owner hooks (before I start on the large Mustad backlog). This makes it 82 hooks with images and a total of 134 sizes that have a closeup image.
Another day and 21 new pictures added to flyhooks.org, bringing the total number of images up to 100+
Today was Partridge day, with 19 new pictures, in addition I added one Daiichi and one Knapek hook. The ones standing out today was the CS54 above: the bend and strength on this one lends itself to shrimp and other seatrout patterns around here. The CZ below is one I haven’t had in my hands before, but stood out as a hook that needs to be bought and tied on; it is strong, got a very good nymph curve and is barbless. This is one I could tie up some nymphs for salmon on since it comes in sizes from #18 all the way up to #1/0
Here is one interesting new hook shape that I haven’t had the chance to tie on before: the Daiichi 1222:

Next up is A.Jensen, Owner and Akita before a large batch of Mustad hooks will make its way to flyhooks.org
Added 14 new Gamakatsu hooks today, thanks to donations from some very generous people!
The SC15 above is one I’ll buy to tie up shrimps and maybe some other saltwater patterns, the C14S below stands out as a very sturdy hook that could be used for some salmon patterns or when going after bigger saltwater species. Looking forward to tie on both of them
I also added some TMC, with the TMC 2488 below as a hook I’ve tied a lot on before, but on the tiny #20 size, a good hook with a wide gape that can be used for different patterns, both dry and small nymphs
Added pictures on these hooks:
