This Daiichi fly fishing hook has a straight eye, 3X short shank, 3X heavy wire, wide gape bend, XPoint.` Uses: egg and glo bug patterns, short steelhead and salmon patterns; Sizes 4-10. Pack of 25 fly tying hooks.
Really like the hook out of the package, however after a few drifts hitting rocks on the river the hook can be difficult to sharpen due to its unique point shape. I have used size 8 and 10 for egg pattern and find the gap to really help in tying these flies.
