Dr. Gary Borger conceptualized and helped create the design for this hook. It is an improved version of the swimming nymph hook (1770) and it features 2X-heavy wire. The gentle york bend facilitates the use of beads for bead head nymphs. The design of this hook is truly unique because the eye of the hook is lower than the spear and point of the hook. As a fly rides upright in the water. This allows for a better jigging action as the fly is retrieved with short, jerking motions.

Daiichi Traditional Nymph Hook 1X-long hooks are about one eye length longer than standard shank length. They are used for slightly longer wet flies, which give them a truer to nature dimension, considering that wet flies represent mayflies, which are long bodied insects. They are also a reasonable length for mayfly nymph imitations or wet flies featuring a bead head. Daiichi Fly hooks are the finest in the world.
