I’ve been using this hook for several seasons to tie salmon flies. The black finish looks professional and the curved shank makes tying smooth and consistent. It’s durable and holds up well in both wet and dry conditions.

As a fly tier, I appreciate the precision of the tapered-loop up-eye. It’s easier to insert thread and maintain even tension. The forged bend adds strength without adding bulk.

The hook performs well for steelhead flies. I’ve used it in both saltwater and freshwater settings. The only minor issue is that the 3/0 size is a bit tight for some larger flies, but overall it’s reliable.
