Sprout Hooks?

What does a Sprout hook look like? And also what type of flies are normally tied w/ these hooks?

Thanks,

Go to Barlowes tackle they have the best hook guide I've ever found. Crimped sprout hooks are used in poppers and some crappie jigs See if I can post a pic in a few minutes.

Here you go.

You'll have an easier time finding info on this hook, if you spell it correctly :p

It's a "SPROAT" hook ;)

... cp :cool:

I tie a lot of flies on a sproat hook. All of what I tie are wet flies, mostly streamers. The sproat hooks allows for a bigger fly body to be tied. Is is a great scud and shrimp hook. Anyhtng that has some girth to the fly so that you have a decent hook gap after using a lot of material.
