Up till recently, and thanks largely to Nick, I was quite satisfied with my hook selection for the tubes I was tying. But then I wanted to get into tying shorter tubes tied on HMH micro tubes yet still stay with a #4 hook.
The closest I know of is Tiemco 105 at 5X short, and while it sorta works, the jury is still out (only tried it twice so far) on whether I will take fish on this setup. But this hook is of heavier guage than I'd like to see and I would prefer 6X short. Also its offset which could result in a critically off balance presentation. So my wish is that somewhere there exists a hook similar to the Tiemco 105 but of shorter shank, lighter wire, and not offset.
