1210-Daiichi Short Shank Dry Fly Hook

1210-Daiichi Short Shank Dry Fly Hook

$6.75

A "short shank" hook is an interesting tool for a tier.  If you tie a standard length pattern on a short shank hook, you select one size larger than normal - a size 12 Adams fits on a size 10 "short shank".  This does two things that may be beneficial.  First it gives you one size heavier wire, therefore increased strength. It also gives a wider gape for increased hooking effectiveness.  Of course, these hooks are also used for short dry flies, spiders, beetles, ants, etc.

Available in bronze sizes: 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22
