The Umpqua XS420 Saltwater Flats Hook is designed specifically for crafting bonefish, permit, and other flats flies that demand stealth, strength, and precision. With a short-shank, wide-gape design, this hook provides optimal leverage and hook-setting power when targeting wary saltwater species in shallow, clear water. The heavy wire construction ensures durability under pressure, while the straight eye and barbed point allow for secure hookups and reliable holding strength.
