Quick take
A size 30 barbless midge hook with large eye for tying minuscule flies on finicky trout.
This is the Gamakatsu C12-BM, a barbless midge hook in size 30 that comes 25 to a pack. The large closed eye makes threading tippet easier on such a tiny hook, and the needle point and forged steel build suit fine-tuned fly tying. Fly anglers who match very small midges on technical water will find it a natural fit.
