Daiichi’s 1550 hook is a traditional wet flyhook. Wet flies are time honored, successful, subsurface patterns. These hooks feature a more gradual curve of the wire in the transition from the straight shank to the bottom of the bend. This shape is associated with an early English hook-maker named Sproat and today is still referred to as a sproat bend. Dedicated fly tiers consider this the proper bend to give wet flies their aesthetic beauty and Daiichi is continueing on with the tradition.
