Kona UCK Universal Caddis/Klink Hooks

From caddis emergers that sit just right in the surface film to the ever-popular (and effective) Klinkhammer Special, Kona's UCK Universal Caddis/Klink Hooks does it all. These hooks feature a continuous bend that allows you to tie as far down the shank as you need, and a high-carbon steel construction with a slightly heavier wire provides strength while still allowing your dry flies and emergers to float well. Made in sizes 8 through 18, these hooks let you match anything from October caddis to tiny Klinkhammers that fool those tough trout in super clear water.

Uses

With their continuous bend, these hooks are ideal for tying Klinkhammers, caddis emergers, and cripple dry flies, but they're also a hook that's great for experimenting with whenever you have a niche need.

Comparisons

Finding the perfect hook for a Klinkhammer has been a long battle, but another good option is the Daiichi 1167 Klinkhammer Hook. These hooks also have a straight eye, slightly heavier wire, and continuous bend that's great for tying emergers and Klinkhammers. However, two differences are that they have a slightly smaller gap and size down to a #20, whereas the Kona UCK Hook only gets down to a #18.
