1442:
I got a sack full of agate flakes today so I worked a couple into hooks.
The small one is brazillian agate and the larger one is green moss agate.
I learned today that I love agate.

A steelhead would hit that orange-ish one just because it's the right color. It's the same hue as fish eggs.
Have you ever used the small capsule type "hooks" with the pints on both ends? They get tied in the middle and completely hidden inside the bait. after it's swallowed it turns sideways in the stomach and won't pull out easily sideways. Usually made from bone antler or wood. Just curious if they work half way decent.

I had a Comanche buddy that used to make them out of both bone and antler. I have a few he made and have always wanted to try one.

Those are really Cool 1442. I'd like to see your tackle box. Bet you'd get the looks when you go fishing
