DAIICHI 2151 CURVED-SHANK SALMON HOOK

Product Description

Bob Johns, a noted fly tier and hook designer created this “Bartlett” style hook in the 1970s. He preferred this straight eye version to the more popular up-eye for his personal flies. This hook can be used to create beautifully curved nymphs for steelhead.

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. This eliminates irregularities in shape, assuring no weak spots, and gives amazing speed of penetration.

FEATURES:

• Tapered loop eye
• Black finish
• Curved shank
• Uses: Salmon/Steelhead Flies and Nymphs
