I would definitely give the Ahrex PR378 swimbait hook a try for your weedless flies. The gap between the hook point and the hook eye is a lot larger for sizes 4/0 and 6/0 compared to texas rig style weedless hooks. Just a tip! Love your fly designs a lot!
Thanks Dirk, I have tried it and the weight of the hook is what I really didn't like, also I've been having a way better hookup ratio with the treble hook, I'm going more for snag proof rather than weedless. Thanks for watching and for the input 🤘.
OK, that is good to know! I thought I would mention it, as I tie directly on this hook and manage to keep it level. But I guess for a tube fly version indeed it would make more sense to use your setup 🙂
Great idea!
Thanks
