Daiichi 1170 Standard Dry Fly Hooks

From classics like the Parachute Adams to more imitative patterns like a Sulphur Spinner, Daiichi&';s 1170 Standard Dry Fly Hooks tie them all. Designed as an all-purpose dry fly hook, Daiichi&';s 1170 has a round bend, standard-sized shank, down-eye, and a bronze finish-all of these features add up to give you a strong, sharp, and reliable hook that will float just about any dry fly that you can tie up. The 1170 is made in sizes 8 through 16, allowing you to imitate most large to medium-sized insects. Uses The 1170 Standard Dry Fly Hook was built around tying dry flies. Whether you&';re looking to imitate caddis, mayflies, small stoneflies, or just tie attractor patterns, the 1170 is a safe bet. Comparisons Another standard dry fly hook with reliable performance is Ahrex&';s FW500. The FW500 has a very similar shank length and bend as Daiichi&';s 1170 Hook and you can use these two almost interchangeably. There are two differences, however. First, the FW500 has a black nickel finish instead of the bronze finish found on the 1170, and the FW500 comes in sizes 8 through 18, instead of sizes 8 through 16 like Daiichi&';s 1170. Regardless of which option you choose here, both of these hooks are great choices when tying almost any dry fly. Pack Size: 25
