This hook is a variation of the standard (4X) streamer, because it features a straight eye (or ringed eye). Some anglers prefer this variation to the popular down-eye model. Keith Fulsher advocated the straight eye streamer hook in his book "Fishing the Thundercreek Series".
Daiichi Fly hooks are the finest in the world. Here's
why:
- They are made of the finest high carbon steel, which is hardened and
tempered to an exacting formula that makes for a long point life and a very
strong hook.
- Daiichi hooks use a 12-degree constant taper ground needle
point. This eliminates irregularities in shape, assuring no weak spots, &
gives amazing speed of penetration.
- Daiichi hooks are also chemically sharpened in
a special bath that deburs their points.
- Daiichi hooks come in multiple
finishes that are all evenly and smoothly applied.
- Each hook is precision
tooled "true" to the exact design of the eye, bend, gape & barb.
- The barbs are an advanced "low profile" design that results in minimal weakness and
less broken hooks and lost fish.
