Hook options are all your personal preference my friend. You can certainly add as much and any combination of materials to dress up the hook. We tend to stick with sparkle combinations to give the fly some pop. We often comb it out as well for good transparency! A dab of glue be it uv epoxy, or just super glue is a great idea and makes the fly even more bomb proof! I hope this helps and thanks so much for checking us out! Anymore questions, please feel free to ask! Tight lines!
