These hooks work great for fishing in shallow streams. The curved shape holds the fly well and the black nickel finish looks professional. I’ve used them for gammarus patterns and they stay sharp after several casts.
Sam Wallace –
The lightweight design makes it easy to cast in tight spots. I added a small weight to one hook and it still performed well. The gape is generous, so it doesn’t catch the line easily.

Perfect for imitating small amphipods. The hook holds the pattern securely and doesn’t tangle. I’ve been using it for a month and it’s still in great condition.
