Good for more than just nymphs...One of my favorite hooks, these are a 3xl hook on heavy wire! Good for more than just nymphs... I like them on some dry fly patterns too, specifically dry fly patterns with foam and/or spun deer hair. These hooks make killer traditional styled streamers like Muddler Minnows and are an excellent choice for nymphs with longer bodies or bead heads. These hooks have a great bend, are super sharp and have been pleasant to tie on. I will be buying these again, highly recommended!
