Ordered some of these in response to a magazine article. Delivered promptly. 14 and 16, tag on 16's slightly long but probably OK. Only complaint for me is that I always use fully barbless hooks. Best bit is that they really work. Fished on the dropper I have had very good results, both trout and grayling.
