Phil Holding of Spiders Plus, has recently discovered Varivas 2200 hooks.  This is what he said;

“I have been hunting for an effective alternative to the Partridge hook for Klinkhamers and have at last found a great range that offers the profile of Partridge Klinkhamer Extreme, but in much smaller sizes!

The re-introduction in the UK of the Varivas 2200 micro barbed hook now enables me to offer this great fly in much smaller sizes - the hook offers a good curved shank with a flat spot by the eye.

I now offer “micro Klinks” tied on sizes 14 down to 20; the Varivas 14 is smaller than the size 20 Klinkhamer Extreme!

Choose from three different coloured wing posts with 10 different body colours initially - more variations are available such as the “Purple Ugly” and Yellowhamers.
