Daiichi hooks

In the mid 1980’s, Daiichi introduced this “swimming nymph” hook to form the foundation for swimming mayfly nymph artificials, and for flies imitating leeches or worms. The gentle “s” curve helps give a life like appearance to these creations. Daiichi Fly hooks are the finest in the world. Here's why: They are made of the finest high carbon steel, which is hardened and tempered to an exacting formula that makes for a long point life and a very strong hook.
