#html-body [data-pb-style=HLW6LC8]{justify-content:flex-start;display:flex;flex-direction:column;background-position:left top;background-size:cover;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-attachment:scroll} Chasing steel along Elk Creek in Erie or drifting flies on the famed Salmon River in New York, no matter what steelhead tributary you&';re wading, Daiichi&';s 1520 Steelhead Egg Hooks are a reliable hook for it all. Made with a sproat bend, 2x-heavy wire, and 3x-short shank, this hook provides the perfect platform when tying up almost any egg pattern, and its sharp point and low-profile barb ensure that every fish you hook stays on the line. Made in sizes 6 through 10, the 1520 lets you tie medium-to-large egg patterns that are strong and get down deep nice and fast. Uses The 1520 Steelhead Egg Hooks was designed around tying Glo-Bugs and various other egg patterns, and although it does this very well, this hook can also be used to tie heavy nymphs and soft hackles when a shorter-shank hook is called for. Comparisons If you&';re looking for a nearly identical profile to your hook, then Daiichi&';s 1510 Glo-Bug Hook is the perfect choice. The 1510 Hook has the same sproat bend and 3x-short shank as the 1520, but it does not have the 2x-heavy wire, so if you&';re fishing for smaller species or don&';t want your flies to sink as fast, the 1510 is a better option. Also, the 1510 comes in sizes 6 through 18, instead of 6 through 10, so depending on the size of the pattern you&';re tying, the 1510 may have a more suitable size. If you are chasing true trophy fish or strong species like steelhead and salmon, however, the 1520 may be a better choice since it is a stronger hook. Example Flies Daiichi&';s 1520 Steelhead Egg Hooks can be used to tie a ton of different patterns, but the Glo-Bug is certainly the most popular of them all. Pack Size: 25
