Dubbn,

Thanks for this tip. I've bookmarked it.
I'm curious about the absence of Kamasan from the chart.

This will be because it is an American chart and what we call Kamasan, you guys call Daiichi. Same hooks, different names and number codes....... just to confuse things further! :?

Lance, the main ones to worry about would be:

Kamasan------------- Daiichi
B401-------------------1180-------- Standard Dry
B170-------------------1550--------Standard Wet
B175-------------------1570------- Extra heavy Wet
B830-------------------1710--------2XL Heavy wire
B110-------------------1120--------Scud 2X heavy 1X Short
