I was wondering, what are the most popular hooks among fellow anglers?

Which brand, model and size?
If possible anyone who wants to participate can add his vote for:

1 trout and grayling fly hooks
2 warm water fly hooks (pike or something else)
3 salmon fly hooks

Just answer simply

"1. Tiemco 2312 size 12 for dries, dohiku J for nymphs sizes 12 to 18, and dohiku 302 sizes 18 to 12 for wet
2. Gamakatsu model xxxx sizes 1 to 1\0
3. I dont fish for salmon"

This is just an example


Thanks everyone for participating

Too many out there for me to answer that one, or three as the case may be.
I use many sizes and styles as my fishing is radically varied.
The favourites of others could help me as well though as I am just starting to tie for pike.

Well, my intention is to see your favourites... there are too many... but which ones you like to use most...?
 
For Salmon and steelhead if I want a heavy hook I use the Gamakatsu T10-6H or the Daiichi 2441 in sizes 6-2.
If I want a lighter wire hook for some reason I'll use the Daiichi 2421 or Tiemco 7999
If I'm just tying a fly for display or as a gift I'll use a Alex Jackson Spey hook size 3-7

Just to many to list for other species it's 5 am LOL
 
Salmon /steelhead I use AJ #1.5 to #7 , TMC 700 #1 to #3, Partridge MV Bomber return eye #1, or mustad 9002 #1 or #2.
Everything else is either Mustad, Diaichi, Tiemco, or Hanak, depending on what and how i tie them.
 
Well I use Tiemco 95% of the time for trout, saltwater and salmon. Steelhead I use mainly Diachii unless it’s a stinger, then I find any longer hook just for the shank.
 
about 90% of my hooks are Mustad and sizes 6 to 16 any smaller and I cannot see them I use all the types of hooks they supply Nymph thru Streamer and scud bend
 
I am looking for the strongest chironomid and wide-gape jig hooks out there in the smaller sizes (Sz. 18 and 20). I currently use the Sierra 2302 and Tiemco 200r / Maruto C40hw for chironomids and Sierra 400BL WG and 451BL jig hooks. The Orient Sun 4640 is the strongest I have found but the gape is narrow compared to the WGs. Any suggestions?
