Has anyone used this hook for tying large dry flies with spun deer hair? It is a bass bug hook, but i want the wider gap for (hopefully) increased hook ups.

I think that is the hook that I used to tie deer hair mouse patterns on. Size 6 is like a 2/0 or something. Anyway, sharp point, and it sticks well. Caught lots of rainbows, kundhza, and 3 northern pike on them.

Yep, it's what I use for tying my skating patterns when I'm not using tubes or waddingtons. Very satisfied.

I have been using them for about 4-5 years now and love them. They are very sticky.

The small Alec Jackson spey hooks (mfg by Daiichi) work very well for this too.
