Product Description
Quantity: 25 pack (unless otherwise noted)
Description: Sproat bend, down-eye, standard wire, standard length.
Uses: Traditional wet flies.
This is the traditional wet fly hook. Wet flies are time honored, successful, subsurface patterns. These hooks feature a more gradual curve of the wire in the transition from the straight shank to the bottom of the bend. This shape is associated with an early English hook-maker named Sproat and today is still referred to as a sproat bend. Dedicated fly tiers consider this as the proper bend to give wet flies their aesthetic beauty.
