Comparisons

Universal dry fly hooks are commonplace and have been around for quite some time, and a present-day model that's similar to Kona's UDF is Daiichi's 1170 Standard Dry Fly Hook. These hooks are also made from a high-carbon steel with a down-eye and round bend, and you can use them just the same for all of your standard dry fly patterns. While these hooks are very similar, one difference to note is that Kona's UDF comes in packages of 30 while Daiichi's 1170 comes in packages of 25.
