What the solver builds around it
The most common pick at each other stage, across the 14 builds around the Dry Fly & Nymph Hooks that clear without an error.
Every fish, every water
Each row is the best rig the solver can build for that fish in that water while being forced to use the Daiichi Dry Fly & Nymph Hooks. "Adds" lists the engine problems it brings that the free solve for the same pair does not have, and the last price column is the cost against that free solve.

Fish-and-water pairs are the ones we publish solved rigs for: water type matches and the fish is actually targeted there. Build prices are street-price estimates from our catalog.
Where it falls short
The checks the Dry Fly & Nymph Hooks trips that the free solve for the same pair does not, by how many builds each one fires in. The quoted line is the engine's own message from the first build it fired in.
Hook pattern vs baitwarn in 10 builds
Rainbow Trout, Farm Pond: Trick Worm is normally rigged on a ewg or j or jig or octopus hook. You have a fly hook selected. It will physically work, but the bait will not sit or swim the way it was designed to, and weedless rigging may not be possible at all.
Soft plastics are designed around a hook pattern. On the wrong one the bait will not sit straight or rig weedless. The engine warns.
Against the other hook options
The same test run on every hook in the catalog, ranked by clean builds. Full specs side by side are on the hook comparison.
