    Default Gamakatsu B10S Alternative

    Morning All,

    I have been struggling getting the above hook in store in CT. The pattern I am trying to tie specifically requires the above in a size 6.

    Can Anyone suggest a good alternative which is the same size and strength as the above. From what I read Gama hooks seems to be pretty good.

    The hook is for a floating/slider type pattern and the instructions was very specific on size and make so want to try and stay within the guidelines as much as possible.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Thanks Gerrit.

    Appreciate the help, just want to get cracking at a new pattern, so would rather use a alternative for first attempts and get the ball rolling

    Cheers

    The Grip 21571BN is an excellent alternative.
