For my 7 wt I prefer as small as a #6 to #1, mainly #4's...for the 9 wt I like #2 to 1/0...Hook sizes vary with companies

Hmmm.... everything I tied so far has been on a #1 or 1/0 3407DT I think it is...Figured a 4 or 2 would have been a better choice..Will try to find some next week..

2, 1, and 1/0. I will occasionally fish a 4 or 6 if the fish are laid up and not doing much or if I am targeting sheepshead. I use Mustad 34007 on most all of my trout and redfish flies.

Get the 34007's you'll throw the 3407's in the trash...when your ready get some tiemco 811S's - super sharp hooks
