This is another fishing hook that was developed for fishing with bait, but is now also being used for artificial bait. Known as an egg hook, this style is generally used by trout fishers using natural salmon eggs as bait. Today’s fly tiers create artificial egg patterns to simulate salmon eggs and many prefer this hook style because the up-eye does not close off the hook gape and the angle of pull enhance hook-ups.
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.
