This hook design is similar to hooks used in England and Europe as bait hooks for carp. In fly-fishing, it works great for nymphs, larvae, scuds, shrimp, or bead-head flies. The heavier than standard wire is preferred by some to give flies more weight and more strength.

Continuous bend, up-eye, 1X-heavy wire, forged, reversed. Uses: Scud, Shrimp, Grubs, Pupae, San Juan Worms, Nymphs
