This pattern comes from a client request. It is similar to a steelhead Egg Sucking zonker leach. you can tie this pattern on a standard hook, but I have a good supply of saltwater hooks that I didn't really like, but they have a good shank length for this purpose. I use a side cutter to clip off the hook.
If you don't have a tube vise, you can just use the regular vise jaws, but just be careful not to put too much pressure on the hook.
