Daiichi 1188 Bronze hooks are specially designed for tying traditional dry flies.
With a standard shank, round bend (Round Bend) and downturned eye, they have a classic, versatile shape well suited to a wide range of dry fly patterns.
Their bronze finish gives them a traditional look, while their barbless design promotes quick, effective penetration when setting the hook and makes fish easier to release—a particular advantage for catch-and-release fishing.
Strong and reliable, Daiichi 1188 hooks suit both classic patterns and more personal creations, while maintaining balanced proportions and excellent consistency.
