The shorter shank and slightly wider bend help to create a natural fly profile, making your imitations of land insects and smaller beetles look more realistic in the water. An excellent choice for ‘bug’ patterns – the hook is designed specifically for situations where you need to tie on dry flies and submerged flying insects with confidence. Versatile use by the water – as well as for beetles and terrestrial insects, you can also use it for dry caddisflies and their larvae in certain situations. The black nickel finish gives the hook a discreet, professional look whilst also emphasising its durability during regular use. The practical pack of 25 provides you with plenty of hooks to tie a variety of patterns without having to buy more, so you can be prepared for different conditions and types of fishing.
