Daiichi 1720 3X-Long Nymph Hooks

Whether you're rolling massive stoneflies along the bottom of a river in search of monster trout or stripping a classic Wooly Bugger upstream for smallmouth bass, Daiichi's 1720 3X-Long Nymph Hooks is a great choice for any long-bodied pattern. This hook is made with a perfect bend and has a heavy wire and 3X-long shank, providing the ideal platform for flies that call for a long body, or whenever you need additional weight and holding power. Starting with a size 4 and dropping all the way down to an 18, Daiichi makes their 1720 Hooks in a wide range of sizes so that you can imitate anything from large nymphs to small caddis larvae.

Uses

Since Daichi's 1720 3X-Long Nymph Hooks are made in such a hefty assortment of sizes, you can turn to them for a ton of patterns that call for a longer body. While this hook is a very popular choice when imitating forage like stoneflies, hellgramites, and various baitfish, you can also use the smaller sizes when imitating smaller insects that have a longer body like some caddis and mayflies.

Comparisons

Tiemco makes a very comparable hook to Daiichi's 1720 Hook with their TMC 5263 Nymph and Streamer Hook. Like the 1720, Tiemco's TMC 5263 has a perfect bend, heavy wire, and 3X-long Shank, making it a great substitute. However, one difference between the two is the range of sizes-the TMC 5263 ranges in size from 4 through 14 instead of 4 through 18 like Daiichi's 1720, so if you need to drop down a bit in size, Daiichi's model is a better option.
