At my last visit to Woodford Campbell gave me some red hooks. Really like the effect.

Darren,
You are spot on, they are campbell's b175s. The middle patterns are claret pheasant tail bodies with a red wire rib. The hackles are claret dyed furnace hen hackles from capes I got from Gerry at Artifly. Really rich colour and very soft. The hook seems to emphasise the red tones in a way I really like. A sort of Claret Cruncher I suppose, but the overall impression is like a blood red. One for the halloween horror maybe.
Very Happy
