Taking their design of the popular C200BL Hook and shortening the shank, Umpqua's Competition C260BL Barbless Nymph Fly Hook is an excellent hook for tying small nymphs and larvae. Made for use in competitions, this heavy wire hook features a barbless construction with an extra long needle point, wide gap, and stealthy black nickel finish. And although this hook was designed with competition in mind, it's a reliable option anytime you need a short shank nymph hook. Made in sizes 8 through 16, you can count on this hook whether you're twisting up caddis larva or tying a short version of the classic Pheasant Tail Nymph.
Uses
Umpqua's Competition C260BL Barbless Nymph Fly Hook is ready for use in competition, but it's an equally strong option for recreational fishing. With its short shank, this hook excels when tying small nymphs and larvae, but you can also use it to create micro streamers for those more aggressive fish.
Comparisons
Since Umpqua based their design of the C260BL Hooks on their C200BL Hook, that's a comparable option that's similar. The main difference between these two hooks is that the C260BL Hooks have a shorter shank, while the C200BL Hook has a standard shank. Both of these hooks are great options, but if you feel that you need a competition hook with a longer shank, the C200BL Hook is the way to go.
