Compared with the very popular BL 154 these hooks have heavier wire (medium vs standard wire) wider gape and the eyes are in the same plane as the hook bend whereas BL154 have transverse hook eyes. A great looking new hook design from Hends that could be a go to hook for slotted bead head flies.
The 154 is no longer available but we ha

Good wide gape jig hooks
Used these in 16’s & 14’s. Slightly shorter in shank with a wide gape. They are sharp, hook and hold well, very good value.
