Would size 10 single open eye hooks be about right ?

Sounds way too small. To catch what?

Agreed a size 10 sounds far too small for any kind of lure. Have you looked at the vmc in-line single hooks? They’ve got a big enough eye for split rings, and available in a range of sizes.

I got a sample and size 10 is fine for 4g spinners but you are right too small so I have bought size 6 and 4

Size 10 are fine for the perch in pike free waters and the trout only stream
