Has anyone used any of the DNA fly tying materials for pike / saltwater flies this stuff seems to get good reviews.

Has anyone used the Ad Swier range of pike hooks?

Why pink? Does it appeal to their feminine side. I always thought a dash of red was the colour for pike/perch.

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.
