Great value for the price. The hooks are consistent in size and shape. I used them to tie midge patterns for my trout fishing trips. Easy to work with and the straight point helps in precise tying.

Solid quality for midge patterns. A bit harder to find the exact size in the middle of the range, but overall the hooks perform well in the field.
