Hook anatomy and hook types
Partridge John Holden
By Martin Joergensen
 One of my recent favourites the Partridge John Holden hook. It's a great hook to tie my standard streamer patterns on. It's called heavy weight, but even though it's not delicate it quite acceptable. In the larger sizes like the 5/0 I use for The Red Fly I would actually call it light weight. And the hook gap leaves no doubt: once you bite over this one you're on. And it's stainless, not just coated.
Flies that I tie on this hook: Umbrella (in the Gallery), Bjarke (in the Gallery), Snotklatten and The Gift Fly - the last two both experiments.
The charming Partridge bags make you feel right at home with Alan Bramley and his 'ladies'. Be it Judy, Edna or whomever inspected these hooks - we trust that our fish will stick to the points of the products of their steady hands.
