Ron, I dont know that Firehole makes their hooks that small. I am glad you picked up on the size difference.

Sort of looks like those Firehole hook are closer to a 14 than a 20. No idea why Firehole went that way. That being said, I kind of like their hooks.

I agree with REE about the Firesticks... I just don't buy them online unless I know the actual sizes.. But what I really want to know is the recipe for those baetis nymphs. They are beauts...

This Hareline product is the same as his "Slim Rib".

DUBBN thanks for the course on midges...Its that time of year in my neck of the woods and I will be filling a box with the series you've shared with us. Really like the slim shady, but who could pass up the others.
