Why would you need # 1/0 hooks,weather, hijacks and all other tangents

He is a troll .....just looking to stir up a response, just like he's doing on the erie board section.
 
Like a hemorrhoid, ignore it and it will go away.

He was accused by several people  of snagging a brown in the eye that he posted from Oak Orchard.  Whether he did or not, I fell off my chair laughing as it reminded me of the old Cheech and Chong bit- " oh man, eee stuck it in iz eye.....
As I remember he said he wrapped them in estaz. I'd like to see how it looks on a 1/0. 

 Attachments are not available: Download requirements not met Tasty looking isn't it ?  1/0 Gamakatsu Octopus.....Do you need a 1/0?  Of course not but this was the hook that worked best for me this year on the SR.

Now take another picture of it beside a penny. Looks to me like that thing is tied on a #4 or #6. Either that or the estaz you are using is heavier than any I've ever seen.
 

 
 
Photo next to a quarter please.
I have never seen estaz that will cover a size 1/0 hook and will look like that.
If that is a 1/0 hook with a hook gap of about 1/2 inch the individual tinsel shafts appear to be  that long also
But then I have little experience with estaz.
Exactly what is that estaz,brand name and size, and where did you purchase it so that I may  get some of my own to check out?
 
 
 

Strait flOss'IN just say'IN....

They'd make great hat and tree  ornaments for the holidays!! I wrapped a 1/0 with the biggest estaz I had .  I find it effective for eggs (8 is the biggest for me) , nymph thoraxes, and ESL's. It took 15 " of material to cover the hook as shown. Seems kind of wasteful, unless you have solder wire wrapped underneath. Then it's particularly effective. Yeah....  I have lots of 1/0's,   as I use to trade a guide flies for striper boat trips.  I bet my favorite 1/0 Deceiver which is chartreuse over yellow over white with a red throat would work well swung for salmon, but it has very little chance of not getting seen and refused or avoided.
Well at least this thread gave me an idea for next fall. And an ornament craft project.

I bought some on Ebay then decided to tie my own....Mine don't look this nice.  The estaz is Rumf brand estaz in opalescent black....I can tie 30 flies per package which maybe costs $2.50 a package.....The hooks have a 3/8 gap and the package said 1/0....I saw guys fishing giant hooks with pieces of sponge on them in the ball field hole a year ago...They said they wouldn't even use the sponge except that the law requires them to use something...Wow, talk about admitting to snagging!  Got to talking to them, they said they were staying at Dawn's place in town...Never stayed there.

A quick tie of one of my bigger flies.
7x #2 cut shank with a #2 trailer hook.
Not about to sneak up and grab one unless its blind.
 
Pretty easy to do and I'm sure you have a leftover from the salmon season and won't even have to tie one for the pic.

 
I'll see if I can't get a pic of it wet in a little while I hope.

I caught several kings in altmar using this fly.  When one of them was landed, I looked for the fly and couldn't find it.  That's because it was 6 inches down his throat and I couldn't reach it with my pliers so I had to cut the line and release him. 
 
I caught 8 in 45 minutes and called it a day as it was 4pm and it was miller time. 

  Time to throw the flag up you caught 8 in 45 minutes? so that is a average of 5 minutes to hook up and land a fish and you did it 8 times in a row?

I had to show my wife that one, she's still laughing.

Aha! This duud was long ago exposed as a fraud and a troll on the PA boards, now you are all seeing it too.

yes, please disregard all that I said and posted, it was the beer talking....See you all next year on the SR....I am thinking of a float trip after Xmas but doubt we'll all cross lines.
 

His last post was made while I was writing mine.
I think it answers the question for me.
