Kona BC1 Barbless Curved Nymph Scud Pupa Hooks

Whether the fish have their noses pointed down sucking up scuds and sowbugs or they're plucking emergers out of the surface film, Kona's BC1 Barbless Curved Nymph Scud Pupa Hooks is the right choice for it all. Made from forged high-carbon steel with 1x strength and 1x gap, these hooks are sharp and have the holding power you need to tussle with large fish. A versatile hook, the BC1 Barbless Curved Nymph Hooks have a curved shape that allows you to tie a range of nymphs, pupae, and crustaceans to make matching the hatch nice and simple. Wintery afternoons spent rolling nymphs on the bottom of a limestone stream to spring mornings feeding fish slashing at emergers, these hooks are great to work with no matter what you're up to.

Uses

With their curved shank, Kona's BC1 Barbless Curved Nymph Scud Pupa Hooks are best suited for tying emergers, midges, pupae, sowbugs and scuds, as well as any nymph or larva that may have a curved appearance, like a caddis or cranefly.

Comparisons

Curved shank nymph hooks are a common tool in the world of fly tying and there are a few comparable models out there, with Ahrex's FW541 Barbless Curved Nymph Hooks being a close comparison. This hook has a black nickel finish with a sharp point, and like the BC1, it's also barbless for easy hook removal. These two hooks have a similar bend, but the BC1 Hook is available down to size 20, while the FW541 Hook is made in larger sizes like 6 and 8, so if you're looking to tie some larger nymphs or scuds, the FW541 Hook is a better choice, and if you're looking to tie smaller midges, the BC1 is a superior option.
