Thank you 2xMark!

I am beginning to really like this hook!

Haven't tried the Daiichi 1480=Kamasan B410=Kamasan B525 yet (having a hard time getting a hold of them).

And me. Donald

ps That Pearsall 6a was often called Gold,
so you could call it Blue Starling and Gold.

That is much better, a very nice wee spider.

Martin,

Just beautiful, elegant in it's simplicity. I love that Daiichi 1640 for spiders. It just seems to look right.
