Field Notes

Use this as a specialty hook for tying freshwater surface and bug-style flies or lures, especially when you need the kinked shank to hold the head in place. It is suited to surface presentations like poppers and gurglers, and to rubber bug patterns for bass and trout.

Pros

  • Kinked shank helps keep the lure or fly head secured
  • 1X long shank suits bug, popper, and gurgler patterns
  • Sharp MTL-V1 point for easier penetration

Cons

  • Not a finished lure
