Jigs are great for heavy bead head nymphs. The shape of the hook allows a slotted bead to ride above the shank with out blocking the gap like a traditional beaded hook. They also tend to ride point up, reducing hookups with bottom. Medium wire, extra long needle point, gold finish. Hanak hooks are made from hi-carbon steel, with extra long needle points and chemically sharpened. The quality of their wire and hardening process make for a top notch hook. 25 hooks per pack
