Shaped like the Daiichi 1170, the 1180 is a round wire hook (non-forged).  It also features the Daiichi mini-barb, an impressively small barb that is nearly invisible to the naked eye.  Minute barbs hold fish but allow easy hook-ups, plus they are easily removed.  Many who "pinch down" their barbs prefer these hooks because they easily pinch down the barbs.

The 1182 version of this hook features Daiichi's Crystal(TM) Finish which is a white, silvery plate. A fish looking up at a fly with a "Crystal Finish" hook will find that hook almost invisible, especially with the sky in the background.
