Shrimp Flies

[No Bail]

I was going to tie up some shrimp flies for bottom fish, can someone tell me what hook is normally used on those commercially tied flies? I have not seen that kind of hook in bulk before.

Do they look like this?



Sort of arched in the back?

For the commercial ones they use 7/0.. but i would suggest 4/0 would be alright too.

Thanks for the hook number and size. The type of fly is very basic, with a little yellow and some mylar. I don't think the bottom feeders are all that picky. I just need to bang some flies out this weekend.

I just use the cheap Danielsons. Unless you are really in to making your own you can't beat the price.
