Since you got this far …
The GFF money box
… I have a small favor to ask.
Long story short
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
Long story longer
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.
The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.

I have been fishing
I have been fishing lead head micro jigs for about 25 years. These are made on size 12 gold wire hooks and come in 1/80 or 1/100 oz. In competition fishing lead isn't legal, hence the tungsten beads and offset eyes. Umpqua, Partridge and Daiichi offer the offset jig hooks in sizes 10-16. The Daiichi are $5.75/15 and come in sizes 10-16. I sell the Wapsi micro jigs and the Daiichi hooks on my site. www.eflytyer.com
Matt,
A quick sea
Matt,
A quick search sent me to J-mac Lures, where they have Eagle Claw 570 Jig hooks with no bead down to size 12.
Jan's Netcraft has some down to size 8, also from Eagle Claw.
A little more research will probably reveal many more sources.

Where do you get tho
Where do you get those little jig hooks? I have never seen them in any fly tying catalog here in the USA.
