DAIICHI 1140 Special Wide Gape Hook

This wide-gape, up-eye version of the scud hook gives the hook a larger bite.

This particular style became popularly known as a Scud Hook because of its shape, which is similar to the curve of freshwater shrimp (scud). Flies tied on hooks with bent shanks or continuous bends have a more natural shape and look more lifelike.

The hooks are made of the finest high-carbon steel, which is hardened and tempered to an exacting formula that makes for a long point life and a very strong hook. Daiichi hooks use a 12-degree constant taper ground needle point eliminating irregularities in shape, assuring no weak spots, and gives amazing speed of penetration.
