Description

Daiichi 1280 2XDry Fly Hooks are the choice of discriminating fly tyers around the world. Every hook is precision tooled to the design at the eye, bend, gap, barb and point. These hooks feature high carbon steel construction for superb strength. They are hardened and tempered to an exacting formula.

The chemically sharpened needle points assure the correct shape and an ultra-fine sharpness for instant hook sets, perfect right out of the package. Daiichi 1280 2X Long Dry Fly Hooks are designed for big dry fly patterns like hoppers, stimulators and other terrestrials.

We use this hook when tying our own Chernobyl Ants and Chubby Chernobyl patterns. The extra length int he hook shank allows for that big, bad and ugly foam fly to have plenty of body. It’s not subtle, its about getting as much meat on as great a length of hook shank for maximum buoyancy. Plus, these hooks, like all Daiichi hooks, are strong and sturdy. this is essential for a long shank dry fly hook. Especially so for a pattern like the Chubby, which is going to be fished over and over. The tough build on these flies means they are good to land plenty of fish without coming apart. Therefore, the hook underneath needs to be just as tough.
