Posts: 3233		For me, the Tiemco 921 is fast becoming my favorite small fly hook. Do others have any pet hooks out there?

Posts: 1776		I liked Sprite hooks, from Redditch. Apparently they were/are? across the lane from Partridge. I bought some at a show a while back and haven't found them since.

Posts: 278		When I started tying (1954) hook choices were minimal. There are a lot of quality hooks on today's market, so I opt for the best value, one with top quality and low cost. The answer for me is Togen hooks. Pretty wide variety, strong, sharp, and mini barbs... with a more than reasonable price
