Hameçon nymphé courbé à fil épais

The curved shank really keeps these hooks riding true on bigger patterns, and the heavy wire gives them a solid feel when I'm tying bulky stonefly imitations. Hooked into a chunky brown last weekend and the bend held firm without straightening.

Tied these on a size 12 prince nymph and they held up great through a full day of bouncing off rocks. The heavy wire really helps get the fly down fast in deeper runs, which is exactly what I needed for big trout.

That curved shank holds the beadhead bead perfectly on my size 10 stonefly ties. Heavy wire means I can put real pressure on big trout without worrying about the hook bending out. Only downside is they're a bit thick for small patterns.
