Fly Tying Jig Hook - Black Nickel - Barbless

The FFS 5220 barbless Jig Hook is an excellent hook for fly tiers that prefer this style. Many tiers are using jig hooks rather than nymph hooks for patterns like Walt's Worm, Caddis nymphs, and other nymph patterns designed to be fished hugging the bottom. Combine these with a bead head pushed tight to the hook eye, and a few wraps of lead or lead-free wire and you've got a heavy weight pattern that hits fishes with the hook point up. This reduces snags. Many fly anglers also believe that jig hooks set better than down eye or straight eye hooks.
