A multi-use design, perfect for lightweight stillwater nymphs and dry flies, but equally at home as a river nymph or wet fly hook. The mid-weight wire gives the perfect blend of strength and weight, strong enough for landing big powerful rainbows while still being light enough to tie dry flies. This version has a black nickel finish to make it extra stealthy.

I’ve used this hook for dry fly fishing in clear streams and it performs well. The black nickel finish blends in nicely with the water, and the hook holds up well during casting. It’s a reliable choice for stillwater and river fishing.

Great for tying lightweight nymphs. The hook is strong enough to handle larger trout without breaking, and the black finish makes it less visible in the water. Slightly heavier than expected, but still manageable.

Perfect for my dry fly setup. The balance between strength and lightness is excellent. I’ve used it in both stillwater and moving water, and it consistently performs well without tangles.
