Fulling Mill 5027 Grab Gape Heavy – Black Nickel – Barbless
The popular Grab Gape is now getting a heavy wire cousin. Much like the Czech Nymph hook, we upped the wire gauge considerably on this hook. As a result, you’ll have much more confidence when playing big fish when using it. This fantastic hook model is the perfect match for when you’re tying low-water emergers, dries and nymphs alike. You’ll be blown away with this hook’s ability to hook and hold fish of every size, even in the small size 20. As with our other barbless hooks, this will be available in black nickel.
QTY: 50 per pack.

I’ve been using the Grab Gape Heavy for several weeks now and it’s proven to be incredibly reliable. It hooks fish consistently, even in tough conditions. The heavy wire gives me more confidence when targeting larger species. Works perfectly with my nymph and emergers.

This hook is a game-changer for my fly fishing setup. The barbless design makes it easy to remove fish without damaging the hook. I’ve used it with perdigons and wet flies, and it holds firm without breaking.
Neil Short –
Solid hook with good strength. A bit heavier than I expected, but that’s exactly what I needed for deeper water fishing. Holds fish well and doesn’t bend easily during casting.

Great for small to medium-sized fish. The size 20 works perfectly for fine nymphs. I appreciate the black nickel finish and the durability. No issues with hooking or releasing fish.
