I made up a bunch of hooks recently, hoping to try them this weekend. Mine are a bit different, as I made them like ones I have seen others use. Made with thread, some have heads on them, and some I used tiny wire. Then I coated them in a half dozen layers of acrylic (wife does nails, seemed like it would work well...). I think they will work well, after a couple dozen or so I got pretty good at them too. I have a couple pics of my first ones. Does anyone do something similar? or see an issue with the acrylic? They hardened up nice and hard, smooth and clear and seems to withstand water but are there any thoughts before I test them on some whites? Or is there something else you'd use? looks like a standard dry fly or bead head will work too.
Caught pretty much everything in the area other than a sturgeon, and whitefish so I hope I can find some whites at Gull. I've never found wire worms in a store like I was shown so we'll see!
edit*figured how to add pics...
