The FW504 hooks perform well in dry fly fishing. The wide gape helps with casting and the short shank gives a natural action. I’ve used them on clear lakes and they hold well without snagging.
Keith Bond –
Good quality and easy to use. The black nickel finish looks professional and the barbless design makes it safer for fish. Works well in medium to light currents.

I appreciate the volume and the hook gauge. It’s reliable and consistent. The package includes 24 hooks, which is enough for a few days of fishing.
