Oh I knew you would mash the barb Rob, I was just curious about the make of hook as that thing looks nasty. Mustad must make their salmon hooks differently, as I have all sorts of their hooks, and those that aren't barbless don't look nearly that nasty. Wouldn't want to have to try to remove that from my hand, arm etc. with a barb like that.

Interesting fly Rob.Any name I can think of only cfuses me . Pretty much any salmon hook I have tends to look mean and nasty. Yet have caught a lot of salmon on hooks other than salmon hooks.....though some of them were straightened out a fair bit. B.C. regulations require the use of a single, barbless hook for salmon. So mash the barb there as well.

That thing needs a name. Come on folks, pitch in...this could be fun. Kinda reminds me of a rocket with the orange flames/tail.

HAHA never always neat. I don't name flies in general. If I can it is because of its similarity to other flies/patterns. But if you insist... "Robert's Rocket"
