Daiichi 1730 Stonefly Nymph Hooks - Bronze
Pre-shaped for perfect stonefly proportions. The Daiichi 1730 Stonefly Nymph Hook features a bent shank that replicates the natural curve between thorax and abdomen — no manual bending required, in sizes 6–8.
Description
This hook was specifically designed to enhance the “natural appearance” of stonefly nymph fly patterns. In older fly-tying recipes, tiers were often instructed to bend the hook shank of a typical 3X or 4X-long hook down, that way the final product exhibits a curved or bent body more closely resembling the actual nymphs which bend between the thorax and abdomen when they free swim. Manually bending a finished hook always compromises the metal and is not recommended. These hooks come pre-shaped for perfect looking imitations. Each package contains 25 hooks.
