Daiichi 1530

Description

In the early days of fly tying and fly-fishing, “wet flies” were king. Dry flies and nymphs today are more popular, but wet flies, which are fished subsurface, are still very successful for catching trout, steelhead, and salmon. Wet flies do not closely imitate natural insects or bait fish, but give the impression of emerging mayflies. This Daiichi 1530 hook is a “modern” version of the traditional wet fly hook. The heavy wire helps the fly sink. The extra strength makes this hook a great tool for steelhead and large trout. Uses: Short-Bodied Wet Flies, Nymphs, Steelhead Flies. Try this hook on the Hare’s Ear Soft Hackle.

The Daiichi 1530 is one of the best hooks on the market, that is also at the perfect price for every fly tier. Daiichi has a massive hook selection, from trout all the way to big predatory flies for both fresh and salt water. If there is any hook you need you can find it with Daiichi.
