Has anyone used the Gamakatsu Hooks in the black finish. I have tried some on soft hackles and like the way they look. Always thought they might be better because of the color.

I have never thought about the eye representing the head of the fly or bug. I have always tried to tie a medimum size head just to balance the look. After giving some thought, I believe i prefer the small wrap in Han's first photo where it complements the eye (as the head)
