Nice & neat, fully representative of the Partridge & (insert colour of choice) as they should be and were intended to be.
Except maybe the addition of fluff.
I too like the strong hook. It looks to be a pattern I would fish here and expect it to fish well.

It's by far my favorite hook for spiders. The picture doesn't show the finish too well but it's an olive/bronze. Very nice, very strong and the barb isn't a bear to pinch.
Thanks for the comments!

Nice one, Eric. You're really pushing that proportion and it's cool to see. I like it and the mole can't hurt. It's odd that we add it sometimes and then not in others. It's a subtle addition. It looks great here.
