Klinkhammers
Dave M curious about what hook you use on your klinks. I use a Daiichi 1167 but the shank just seems a little short. Post another pic if you get a chance. BTW they were money at a certain down east stream recently.
I use a Tiemco 200r and take my pliers and bend the first 1/4 of the shank up next to the eye. There are dedicated Klinkhammer hooks; I believe they’re Partridge, but the TMCs work
just fine

I like the Daiichi bent caddis hooks, for dry flies. 1110 perhaps. I like the Klink concept but always found the proportions of Klink hooks to be bizarrely long.
