Oh, I know that. Most of what I fish doesn't look near this good, but the fish have been eating them for years.

Eric,
I have yet to get any of the Grip hooks, but they really make a nice pattern shine. This is a nice pattern.

Thanks. I really like the Grip designs as well as the spear on their barbless models. Using them can be problematical because they are so sharp reaching into the ittle box usually leaves 2-3 hooks stuck in your skin. This 14723 model just seemed to beg for this kind of fly.
