These hooks work well with small dry flies. The gape helps the hook catch more reliably without damaging the fish. Black nickel finish looks professional and the hooks stay sharp after several uses.

I’ve used these for dry fly fishing in still waters. The barbless design makes it easier to release fish. The size 20 fits perfectly with my dry flies and the hook holds well.

Great for small dry patterns. The curved shape and gape improve hook-up success. I noticed no breakage even after repeated use. The packaging is neat and the quantity is sufficient for a full season.
