520 BL Wide Gape Heavy Curved Jig Hook

This is a great hook that can be used for so many different jig patterns plus you get 36 sticks for your money. Hooks are strong, very sharp.

This has become my go-to hook for any of my tag nymphs, and more specifically the olsen's blowtorch. Not sure what it is, but the combo of hook shape and size results in a quick sinking and very effective pattern. I tie them in 18 & 20, in 3 colors (pheasant ice dub, hares ear ice dub, and peacock ice dub) with 3 different size beads (2.8mm, 3.3mm, 3.8mm) and I just cycle through them until one works for that day.

I really like these newer 520 hooks from Firehole. Nice and sharp, barbless, and well made. I continue to use their hooks for many applications.
