Joshua Wallace –
Fished in deep saltwater conditions and the hook held strong under heavy pressure. The oversized eye allowed me to use a thick tippet without breaking. Very reliable for big fish.

The A-steel finish feels durable and the small barb keeps the fly secure during the fight. Works well with large beast-style flies in rocky areas.
Phil Hudson –
Good hook for big flies, especially in strong currents. The size range is useful, but I found the barb a bit sharp when handling.
