    Default New Euro Nymph Hooks

    Has anyone tried out the new Firehole hooks The jig hook 516bl is now being offered down to size 24. They also have curved hooks the 315 and 316. Has anyone field tested these?

    Been tying/fishng the 315 and 316 for over a year. The 317 is a newcomer. Haven't tried the jig hook as I tend to lean toward Hanak.

    Keep in mind that euro sizes are larger than we are accustomed to.. A size 18 (euro) is about the same size as a 16 TMC or Daiichi. Size 16 (euro) is a 14, etc.

    These were tied on the 315. There's a few more floating around here in the forum.

    I have used the 516bl for Frenchies and other patterns. They seem to be good quality and I haven't had any issues. They do seem to be a size larger then some other brands however I have tied nymphs on 20s and 18s and they still catch fish...bob
