Very helpful, even for people who have been tying for years. My biggest issue with hooks is trying to cross reference between makers. Maybe you could add a link to a chart that you prefer?
I never knew this, and I can only imagine the amount of people that didn’t. We play the match game, but it’s always nice to know the numbers thank you, Charlie!
Thank you, Charlie and dog, that was enlightening. I’ve been ignoring the details of what 2x, 3x, etc., both on the shank length and the gap width, actually meant. I’m reminded I need to get some small heavy hooks for Steelhead. This is a case where you might be fishing relatively small hooks, #14, #12, but you need super strong wire, unless you don’t mind losing fish when the hooks get either broken or straightened out!🤪
so it's not a ratio of the gape to shank length... dang...I'm more confused now! lol shoot...I only made it thru Calculus in college...this ain't easy! haha
