J2 225 2X Long Nymph Hook

Since I use beads on all my nymphs the 2x length gives room for the bead and doesn't crowd the hook gap. Can buy a lot of hooks for this price and it isn't as painful when I lose one on the bottom of the river or in a tree .

I have been looking for hooks to replace Dai-Riki and these are the best I have in terms of price and quality. I have not had any problems with malformed or brittle hooks (I used to get several with open eyes with Dai-Riki). I have only had one break but that is because my cat was chewing on it while it was still in the vice. I have never had problems with sharpness. I have bought them in sizes 10-18 and plan on using them as my regular nymph hook.

I bought the size 18 50 pack hooks because of the price. They worked pretty well, but one hook was slightly warped, making it unusable. For the price... not bad.
