I’ve been using these hooks for several seasons now. The wide gape and heavy wire make them reliable when fishing in fast-moving water. The barbless design works well with my dry fly patterns and keeps the flies from getting stuck. Great value for the pack of 50.
Victor Hudson –
The sproat bend and down eye make tying easier and more secure. I use them mostly for nymphs and emergers. The black nickel finish holds up well in wet conditions without tarnishing.
Dylan Skinner –
These hooks are stronger than the standard Grab Gape. I caught a large trout on a dry tied with this hook—no snagging, no breakage. The wide gape allows for better fly presentation.
Molly McDonald –
I appreciate the 3X short length—it fits well in my fly boxes and works well with my current rigging. The barbless claw point is easy to tie and doesn’t catch on rocks.
