Daiichi #1550 Wet/Nymph Hooks Size 10

This is the traditional “wet fly” #1550 hook. Wet flies are time honored, successful, subsurface patterns. These hooks feature a more gradual curve of the wire in the transition from the straight shank to the bottom of the bend. This shape is associated with an early English hook-maker named Sproat and today is still referred to as a Sproat bend. Dedicated fly tiers consider this as the proper bend to give wet flies their aesthetic beauty.
