CZ Patriot Czech Nymph Barbless Hook

They are between a scud hook and the lightly curved nymph hooks that Tiemco and Daiichi sell. Kind of like an elongated scud hook, with slightly less curve. Nice to have something in between.

Usually I tie the J.Stockard hooks and crush the barbs. I have a friend in the UK who uses Partridge hooks so when J. Stockard got them in I decided to give them a try. Quite impressive hooks, sharp, strudy and a good value.
