Daiichi 1150 Heavy Wide-Gape Curved Shank Hooks - This hook design is similar to hooks used in England and Europe as bait hooks for carp. In fly-fishing, it works great for nymphs, larvae, scuds, shrimp, or bead-head flies. The heavier than standard wire is preferred by some to give flies more weight and more strength.
