Firehole Outdoors has put together a great lineup of high quality hooks at very reasonable prices. All Firehole Sticks are black nickel finish and barbless\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTroutlore is proud to have partnered with Joe and Deb from Firehole Outdoors from their humble beginnings. It's an honour to be able to bring this great range of hooks to fly fishers all across Australia. We consider Joe to be an extended part of our little family, and remember Deb for the love and joy she brought to Joe and their family over in Montana. If only she could see them now! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIZING\u003cbr\u003eGenerally speaking the hook sizes are comparable to “standard” industry sizing. While standard industry sizing is debatable depending on who you talk to, most standard length dry or nymph hooks have comparable shank lengths and gapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSHANK LENGTH\u003cbr\u003eJoe’s design criteria adhered very closely to these standards. For instance the 419 is comparable in length to a Tiemco 100. The non-standard shank lengths of Firehole Sticks are referenced as long (L) or short (S). The numerical indicator (1X, 2X, 3X, etc.) references a standard hook size 1, 2, or 3 times longer or shorter. For example the 633 is a 1XL hook so, a 633 #12 has a shank length comparably equivalent to a “standard” #10 hook. Likewise, the 413 is a 2XS hook so, a 413 #16 has a shank length comparably equivalent to a “standard” #20 hook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGAPE\u003cbr\u003eGape size is referenced in a similar fashion as that of shank length, Gape sizing is referenced with a (G) and uses a numerical indicator (1X, 2X, 3X, etc.) as well, which references a standard hook size 1, 2, or 3 times larger. For example the 637 is a 2XG hook so a 637 #18 has a gape comparably equivalent to a “standard” #14 hook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCHARACTERISTICS\u003cbr\u003eAll Firehole Sticks are formed with a wire diameter which is a slightly heavier gauge than what would be considered “standard.” The wire for each hook is high strength carbon steel which is then tempered through a process which ensures flexibility while maintaining high strength. Many of the hooks are also forged which adds an additional level of strength to the hook. Each hook is chemically sharpened. All hooks have a black nickel plating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, if you want to create all sorts of natural looking streamer fly patterns, then our ever growing range of natural hairs and furs is the ideal place to start for something different to the synthetic option. Don’t just settle on looking in the Hare \u0026amp; Rabbit category when you’re chasing quality winging and body furs, check out the Specialty Species Category of the Troutlore Flytying Store as well.
