Ad Swier hooks are my favourite. They are a tad heavy, but the bend/barbless "kink" work well.
Partridge had stopped making them but there seems to be a new version out which is black nikel.
The DNA stuff is lovely!!!!! Much like the EP fibres I love so much, but with a glisten.
Pink is good for a lot of predatory fish. I like a deep pink..not a barbie pink
. Another classic is a red head and white body...seems to work well on clear waters for some reason.
