DAIICHI 1120

Anchor your heavy sub-surface patterns in the strike zone and pull large trout out of fast currents with Daiichi 1120 Scud and Nymph Hooks. Specifically engineered to mimic the curved profiles of natural river organisms, this premium high-carbon steel hook features a smooth continuous bend that is ideal for tying scuds, shrimp, caddis pupae, grubs, and egg patterns. The 1X short shank combined with a 2X heavy wire construction provides massive structural rigidity, while the advanced forging process increases cross-sectional strength by up to 20%. Equipped with a classic down-eye and a chemically sharpened point, these bronze hooks sink fast and deliver positive hook penetration that won't flex or bend out when fighting hard-charging game fish. Each pack includes 25 high-performance hooks.

Rocky Mountain Tailwater Scud Dominance & Fast Water Leverage: Tailwaters in Wyoming—such as the world-class Grey Reef section of the North Platte River or the Shoshone River below Buffalo Bill Dam—are absolute breeding grounds for massive populations of freshwater scuds and annelids. Trout feeding in these nutrient-rich rivers grow incredibly thick and strong. Traditional fine-wire hooks will easily straighten or bend out when a heavy 20-inch wild rainbow trout melts into a fast tailrace current. The 2X heavy forged wire of the Daiichi 1120 provides the sheer pulling power needed to guide heavy fish out of heavy rapids. Additionally, its extra weight naturally assists your split-shot rigs, helping your flies sink quickly through the turbulent surface foam into the deep bottom feeding lanes.
