Uses

The main purpose of Ahrex's FW550 Mini Jig Hooks is to tie flies that you want to ride with their hook point up.

Comparisons

While jig hooks are common and a popular choice in fly tying, few other freshwater hooks offer the diverse size options that Ahrex's FW550 Mini Jig Hooks have. Since the FW550 Mini Jig hooks come in sizes large enough to tie streamers and small enough to tie nymphs, they're a versatile hook like few others. Gamakatsu's J20 Jig Hooks are a similar hook that can be used for tying nymphs, but they lack the wide range of sizes and thus can't be used when tying large streamers.
