These hooks perform well in spey fishing. The black nickel finish holds up well in wet conditions. I’ve used sizes 4 and 6 on steelhead patterns and they hold securely without breaking.

The chemical sharpening helps with consistent hook-ups. The small barb adds a bit of security without being too aggressive. I found the 2 size to be a bit too thin for larger flies.

Great value for the price. The 12-pack is sufficient for a season of fishing. Easy to store and the finish doesn’t tarnish even after several weeks in the field.
