Bella Sutherland –
Great hook for dry fly fishing. The wide gape holds larger patterns well and the black nickel finish looks professional. I’ve used it on clear water streams and it performs reliably.
Harry Paterson –
The short shank design works well with my favorite dry fly patterns. The barb holds securely without breaking. Only downside is the finish can be slightly dull under direct sunlight.

Ordered a pack for my fly-tying setup. The hooks are consistent in size and the chemical sharpening gives a smooth feel. Perfect for dry flies with bulkier wings.
