This style matches some hooks also known as “Harrison’s.” My guess is that the name has been referred to in abbreviated form and simply called “Harrison’s.”

There is evidence in the literature, however, that “Harrison & Bartleet” and Harrison & Co.” were companies that co-existed during the same period of the late nineteenth century. See Pennell, H. Cholmondeley, 1885, “Fishing.”

These are “rationals” from T.E. Prce-Tannatt’s book, “How To Dress Salmon Flies.” Plate X. Group A.

I’ve only made dies for the two hooks because the book’s depiction shows different bends in the different hook sizes.

If you are looking for one of the other sizes please let me know.

A nice little hook for short-material Speys.

Roger Mims’ favorite hook. Adapted from an old Mustad 3899 which had a hollow point. Roger wanted a Dublin.

His idea so he gets attribution in the name.

Same hook as the Harrison Hollow Point above, except the points are Dublin style on these.

To the best of my knowledge these are actually “Harrison & Bartleet” hooks, but are better known by their common moniker, “Harrison Hollow Points.”

The Noble HB style below is the same hook, but the points are Dublin instead of hollow.

This pattern is based on a hook given to me by Derl Stovall, hence the “DS” in the name.

It’s of unknown origin, but was previously, and erroneously, referred to as a “Recreation” style.

The original is painted, and probably of modern origin.
