I'm at a point that allows me to spend a bit more 'cabbage' on fly building material, which at this point, is mostly for terrestrials. I'm tempted to think that Tiemco brand will allow more hook-ups. They seem to have a keener edge, according to the fingernail test. About half of my hook selection are the "house brand"

Is there any evidence to show that fish will stick to Tiemcos more often ?

Most of my shopping is done a Kiene's and S.L. Tahoe fly fishing. I mention this only because both shops are located within 5 minutes of highway 50, just in case someone suggests another brand of hook. If neither shop carries that particular hook, I won't be getting it.

But to get back back on track, I wanna 'sticky' hook
