Daiichi Hooks 1120 Curved Hook

The Daiichi 1120 Curved Hook is a fine-wire, short-shank curved hook designed primarily for tying scuds, pupae, emergers, and small nymphs. Its pronounced curve helps flies sit naturally in the water, giving a lifelike profile for trout and other freshwater species. The hook features a straight eye suitable for bead or tungsten applications and is made from high-carbon steel with a bronze or black nickel finish, providing both strength and corrosion resistance.

Key features:

• Curved shank for natural fly posture and improved hooking angles.

• Chemically sharpened needle point for fast and reliable penetration.

• Fine to medium wire that balances strength with delicate fly presentation.

Common uses:

• Scuds and freshwater shrimp imitations

• Emerger patterns (CDC emergers, quill emergers)

• Small nymphs and pupae (mayfly pupae, caddis pupae)

• Euro-nymphing or tight-line fishing patterns

The Daiichi 1120 is a favorite for anglers targeting trout in rivers and streams where natural presentation and subtle hook sets are crucial.
