Straight Eye, 3X Heavy, 4X Long, Forged, Bronze. 25 per pack
Straight ring eye 3X heavy wire $X long Forged
Bronze _ 9395 This hook is a sleeper for use as a steelhead or salmon fly hook. The heavy wire sinks well and the long shank makes it easy to tie very long flies without using stinger hooks. Long hooks like this are currently out of fashion because they have been accused of ñleveragingî and lower hooked-to-landed ratios than short-shank flies. Perhaps it is so. This depends on where and how the fish is hooked, and plenty of steelhead are not hooked or come un-hooked on short shank hooks as well. This hook has proved effective over years, is effective, and merits tying and fishing with confidence.
