R10-B HookThis is my favorite hook to date for tying flies, I have used the 10,12, and 14 sizes. tying mostly bead head streamer or weightless tenkara fly patterns. High hookup ratio and if tension is maintained high landed fish ratio. I doubt the review of 1 star by the other reviewer is valid, as fly rods tend to have a lot of give and a trout's mouth would rip apart before a "straightened hook" scenario.
In addition to using it personally, I use the same flys under a bobber for my son and he's caught fish all season on the same fly. The nice thing too is if he hooks himself it will come right out because it's barbless.

These hooks bend very easy!I never thought I would be disappointed with a Gamakatsu hook but these are unfortunately terrible & I will be returning them. They bend/straighten very easily. I have lost a few hooked trout that were big but not huge. Even more likely is them bending after getting snagged up on a rock compared to other quality barbless hooks. I also had a couple break when I attempted to bend back in place & I don't think you can give it the annoyingly popular "bad batch" excuse either as it occured on two different sizes..16 & 18. Sucks losing a nice fish to a straightened hook!

Innovative designed barbless hooks.I've bought these in sizes 10 through 18 for tying an assortment of nymphs. The are very sharp, come barbless and the gape is wider than on most other hooks. I use a magnetic fly holder, so they won't fall of as they might with a simple sheepskin patch.
Easy to release a trout or to remove from your clothing or flesh as well.
