I just checked my new Cabela's flyfishing catalog and they list the Mustad 37160 in sizes 1 through 20. Sure looks like the one in the photo.
They show a SJW on a 37160, one like in your photo, and also a bloodworm on a bend-back style hook. They don't list the 2nd hook style in the hook section, and neither does The Fly Shop in Redding. It's similar to the Tiemco TMC 411S, which is a saltwater hook. Maybe Paul or someone else has a line on it.
BTW, if you don't get the catalog from The Fly Shop in Redding, CA, you should. It's a great catalog and every year it's published with up-to-date applications and patterns using almost all of the new materials available, plus all the new gear and gadgets. www.theflyshop.com No affiliation- I just like their catalog- and it's free.
