What they say:

Partridge took great steps forward when introducing the Adlington and Hutchinson Blind eyed hooks and then the graceful Bartleet series of standard and long shank hooks.

The introduction of the latest series of “irons” provides the salmon fly dresser with a hook that has a graceful bend, a pleasing hook point, a beautiful gauge of wire and is available in sizes that will satisfy the needs of most classic dressers.

The Spey hooks are unusual in shape, but look well when dressed with a long flowing hackle. These hooks which are destined for frames are a credit to the Partridge name.
Paul Little

"The new blind eye hook series is a splendid addition to the Partridge line of hooks designed for those most discriminating of fly tiers:  dressers of classic salmon flies.  They have graceful bends, well formed points and barbs, and nicely tapered shanks.

The CS7 JP Bend hook hooks have a lovely shape.  They possess sufficient gape and shank length to accommodate complicated dressings.  The range of sizes will please tiers who appreciate a large canvas for their creations.

The CS5 Dublin Bend has an extra long shank -- a feature welcomed by tiers of Dee and Spey patterns.  The bend lends itself to low, sleek dressings, as well as imaginative creations. Altogether well designed and manufactured hooks."
Marvin Nolte

Flies by Marvin:

A stunning adaptation of beautiful antique styled from the 18th century.  The sizes should satisfy everyone's tastes in dressing the traditional classics. Tapering is perfect for attaching the silk worm gut the full length. Congratulations,
Charlie Chute
