Fly tyers give Varivas Hooks rave reviews at the BFFI 2007
18 November, 2007 No Comments »

We met up with some of the world’s finest fly tyers at the BFFI 2007 last weekend at Trenham Gardens, England. We got some good feedback from realistic fly tyer, Peter Smith. He, like many there were using various Varivas patterns “I have been using Varivas hooks for a few years now but they were hard to get hold of and the sources dried up in the USA. When I found out they were going to be available over here in the UK, I could not wait to get my hands on some. The hook I initially looked at was the 2200 Curved Shank, it is the hook I now use for my extended foam body Mayflies and adult Caddis. It’s an excellent hook, strong, lightweight and extremely sharp.
I have also been experimenting with the newly released 2410 Deep Wide Wet hooks and 2120 Wave Barbless so, watch this space.”
