What started out as a short shank dry has become so much more! Fly tyers can use this hook for everything! Extended bodies, hoppers, emergers, nymphs, you name it. This is a 2X short length hook with a 3X gape. It has a straight eye and is formed from a medium weight wire. The short shank, deep bend and extra wide gape make it truly an all purpose hook. As with all Firehole Sticks, this hook is made from high strength carbon steel, which is properly hardened and tempered. The hook is chemically sharpened and finished with a black nickel coating.Features Include:2X short length hook3X GapeStraight eye hookMedium weight wirePack of 36 hooksGreat for a variety of patterns
