Daiichi 1270 Multi Use Curved Hook 16

Daiichi Traditional Nymph Hook 1X-long hooks are about one eye length longer than standard shank length. They are used for slightly longer wet flies, which give them a truer to nature dimension, considering that wet flies represent mayflies, which are long bodied insects. They are also a reasonable length for mayfly nymph imitations or wet flies featuring a bead head. Daiichi Fly hooks are the finest in the world.

Daiichi Fly Tying Hooks – Dakota Angler & Outfitter

This hook was specifically designed to enhance the natural appearance of stonefly nymph fly patterns. In older fly tying recipes, tiers were often instructed to bend the hook shank of a typical 3X or 4X-long hook down, that way the final product exhibits a curved or bent body more closely resembling the actual nymphs which bend between the thorax and abdomen when they free swim. Manually bending a finished hook always compromises the metal and is not recommended.
