Information about the new hook from Gunnar:
“Designed by Paul Monaghan and Gunnar Brammer, the Ahrex PR 378 – GB Predator Swimbait Hooks is a purpose built Texas Style hook for tying Weedless Flies.
The extra long tying shaft allows for ease of tying and being able to functionally dress full bodied flies. The Hook features a Wide Gap on a long platform for ideal hook point placement, and a largely offset hook point for high hook up ratios. The Linear drop down sections of wire allow for extra hook dressing, lead keels, and my personal favorite rattles – which can be applied to the inside bend of the wire for protection and increased longevity without impeding the flies recipe.
When combined with a simple “Extended Body” platform, virtually any single hook fly recipe can be adapted to this hook to make a functionally weedless fly pattern.”
