Okay Hans, that is something totally new to me. Never seen a double hook before, but that isn't saying much. What would you be hunting with this spicy
little bugger? I could think of a few species around here and in the big pond, but interested in what you had designed it for.

Kollman,
A double hook adds weight to get the fly down a bit faster, but for me the principal strength is that the fly rides through the currents more stable than the same pattern tied on a single hook might. The design is adaptable, of course - as shown it mimics a small rainbow fingerling. Cheers, Hans W |

That totally makes sense to me now. I was thinking something in the saltwater category rather than coldwater. I bet that would be a blast to go out chasing
browns or even pike. Thanks for the info!
