Got to see these at the recent Spring Fair. Cracking looking hooks. Very similar to the Sawada doubles though in that you should really order a size larger than what you need i.e. if you need a size 10 then order the 8.

£4.50 for 6, so still not that cheap really.

You then have the Ken Sawada tube fly double at £5.50 for 10.

Or the partridge BMD's at around £3 for 10.

Agreed Salmon0954. I do, however, find that below the size 10 they become too 'springy', but the size 10's, 8's and 6's are great (found some of the size 6 last year, they're not widely distributed for some reason.
