Specifications

The AS1 & AS2 are identical in form and function. Both are formed from stainless steel wire.

  • AS1 utilizes 0.9 mm wire and is suggested for hooks #6 and larger.
  • AS2 utilizes 0.8 mm wire and is suggested for hooks #6 and smaller.
  • Manufactured in the same manner as a stainless steel hook. Equally as strong as any hook of comparable wire size.
  • Both are available in four lengths; 0.75", 1.0", 1.5", and 2.25".

Note: There is no industry standard for hook eye sizes. I present these suggestions after measuring many streamer hooks from most manufacturers. You may find that the suggested hook size may change based on your hook manufacturer.
