FAQs About Jig Hooks
What is a jig hook in fly fishing?
A jig hook is a specialized type of hook used in fly tying to create flies that mimic the vertical movements of underwater insects. Unlike traditional hooks, jigs are designed with a unique bend in the shank that positions the eye of the hook at an angle. This creates a vertical presentation in the water, riding point-up, which allows the fly to sink quickly and, when fished correctly, swim in a tantalizing jigging action.
