Daiichi 1130 Wide-Gape Scud Curved Shank Hooks - Tiemco introduced continuous bend hooks into the American fly tying market in the 1980's. This particular style is similar to the TMC 2487, which quickly became popularly known as a 'Scud Hook' because of its shape, which is similar to the curve of freshwater shrimp (scud). Flies tied on hooks with bent shanks or continuous bends have a more natural shape or look more lifelike. Down-eye 1X-fine wire 1X-short shank Uses: Scud, Shrimp, Grubs, Pupae, San Juan Worm, Nymphs.
