Ahrex TP650 26 Degree Bent Streamer Hooks

A unique hook designed with special purposes in mind, Ahrex's TP650 26 Degree Bent Streamer Hooks adds an element to your streamer and crustaceans that few other hooks offer. With a 26-degree bend, this hook excels when tying streamers with a wedge head, such as Tommy Lynch's Drunk and Disorderly. Combining a chemically sharpened point and black nickel finish, the TP650 also provides excellent hooking and holding power to let you confidently strip strike your way into those large predatory fish. The TP650 26 Degree Streamer Hooks are available in sizes 2 through 4/0 to allow you to match anything from small crawdads to large baitfish.

Uses

Ahrex built their TP650 26 Degree Bent Streamer Hooks specifically for tying angled heads on streamers, and the 26-degree bend is perfect for this. However, this hook is also a great choice when you're looking to tie inverted patterns like crayfish or streamers that you want to ride hook point up. With a long shank, this hook provides plenty of room for you to create full-bodied flies.

Comparisons

Bent hooks have become pretty common in fly tying, but mainly for nymphs and not so much large streamer patterns; for this reason, Ahrex's TP650 26 Degree Bent Streamer Hooks is a pretty unique hook without many comparable alternatives. If you're looking for another bent streamer hook, then Ahrex's PR370 60 Degree Bent Streamer is another option. However, this hook has a much more dramatic 60-degree bend at the eye, which won't really work for those angled streamer heads, so if you're looking to tie those, it's best to stick with the TP650.
