Pol Jorgenson (sp?) recommends that one use low-water hooks for the General Practitioner, such as the Partridge Q. Mustad standard hooks have a longer shank, so I think those would be fine. The Daiichi 7131 is a beautiful hook for prawn patterns. I have about 50 Mustad 2/0 doubles gathering dust in my hook box if anyone is interested. |

THE best double hook for these and the GP was the Alcock Low Water #2Sadly they are no lnonger available IMHO I use the Sprite(owned by partridge) Low water #2 at 60% the prie of the Partridge hooks it's a deal.The gapes are spleyed out at a larger angle than are thr Partridge hooks a need to be squeezed together. Ther result once tyed up is indistiguishable from the Partridges.Also I've never had one break from hitting rocks ! :~O. Both hooks are readily available here in Canada Hope this helps Cheers Brian |

Penta , sorry but Sprite who make a limmitted range of marvelous h ooks are independant , they are the last truly British hook maker , three guys apparently do the lot and need our support . in my shop I sell their trout wet fly hook at a bargain price ( well U,K. bargain ) 30% cheaper than the machine made partridge , did I mention that Sprite are all hand made , the salmon Irons are superb . Do buy these hooks they are great folks and Know what thy,re making , quality at a great price |
