The J2 500's curved shank mimics the natural profile of scuds, shrimp, and emerging insects, and 2X heavy wire keeps that shape holding up under pressure from larger fish.
Specifications
Pack Quantity: packs of 50 or 100
Style: Curved shank
Wire: 2X heavy
Point: Barbed
Finish: Black nickel
Best for: scud, shrimp, and caddis emerger patterns, and nymph fishing generally where a heavier hook is needed for larger fish.
A thicker gauge and sharp offset point also help the hook sink and hold tension in the water column, useful for feeling strikes in slower-moving water such as streams or shallow pools. The pattern range extends beyond scuds to midge larva and shrimp imitations built on the same curved-shank profile.
FAQ
Q: Is the heavy scud hook only for scuds?
No — the curved, heavy-wire shank works for shrimp and caddis emerger patterns too, anywhere a curved profile and extra strength against larger fish are useful.

Quality hook good price
I have wanted to try some JS hook for awhile now & settled on these. They are sticky sharp right out of the pack. I bought size 16 and tied scuds & some different types of "euro" nymphs. Hooks held fish well and worked great. These are not only a great alternative to more expensive brands but a great value as well. So far I'm impressed.
