My three hooks of choice at the mo. The top one being a Fulling mill 6/0 long shanked hook used only for poppers. The second one down is the Partridge ultimate predator 4/0 hook & The third is my all time favourite pike fly hook the Tiemco 600sp 3/0.
Partridge are now producing this Ultimate predator hook in a number of sizes but for an all round general pike hook the 4/0 is probably the largest size I would go for. Looking at it, it has similarities to the Aberdeen perfect but with a few millimeters chopped off the shank. Personally I would like to see the shank of this hook shortened around 12mm as I generally tie all my materials on an 8mm area but I suppose beggars cant be choosers. The best characteristic with this hook is that its super sharp.......as sharp as the Tiemco 600sp, and that' saying something!
