Question:
What kind (make & model) of hooks are the Joe Dirt & Dabloon flies tied? Thank you kindly for your time
Answer:
Hello! Thanks for inquiring about the Dabloon and Joe Dirt hooks.
I took a look at them and they are identical hooks. As to exactly what brand they are…..I don’t know that. They are not custom/exclusive flies to my shop so I don’t actually call out the hook when they are tied.
From looking closely they appear to be nickel plated as opposed to straight stainless. I like nickel plated in a big fly hook since they are less apt to bend out than stainless. And there is a slight upturn in the hook point. I have sold quite a few of them to saltwater anglers who use them on GT’s and other big game species and I have not had any come back to me.
Hope that helps!
