Materials & care

High grade carbon steel hooks should be dried after use and stored in a dry box to limit corrosion. Inspect the point before each trip and replace hooks that show rust or a rolled tip.

How to use

Select the hook size that matches your fly pattern, secure the hook in your tying vise by the bend, and dress the shank with thread, materials, and a finished head. The straight eye suits standard knot connections, and the micro barb can be pressed down for barbless fishing.
