Eagle Claw 254's are good, inexpensive hooks with a Seaguard finish. Don't neglect some of the live bait hooks for fly tying. I recently started using the Mustad "Big Gun" live bait hooks for some bigger patterns. They are kirbed but can be straightened in a vise and they are quite a bit cheaper than Owner or Tiemco hooks in the larger sizes. Use a stainless hook if you use alot of bucktail on your flies or its a complex tie. 34007 or 34011 Mustads are good as well as Eagle claw 066ss (you'll have to straighten them). They tend to rust otherwise.
