This is another fishing hook that was developed for fishing with bait, but is now also being used for artificial bait. Known as an egg hook, this style is generally used by trout fishers using natural salmon eggs as bait. Today’s fly tiers create artificial egg patterns to simulate salmon eggs and many prefer this hook style because the up-eye does not close off the hook gape and the angle of pull enhance hook-ups. Daiichi Fly hooks are the finest in the world.

Daiichi 1530 Heavy Wet Fly Hooks feature a Sproat bend, down-eye, 2X-heavy wire, and a 1X-short shank. In the early days of fly tying and fly-fishing, “wet flies” were king. Dry flies and nymphs are more popular today, but wet flies, which are fished subsurface, are still very successful for catching trout, steelhead, and salmon. Wet flies do not closely imitate natural insects or bait fish, but give the impression of emerging mayflies.
