This modern bait hook was developed as a cross between a wide-gape hook and a circle hook having elements of each in its design. Many saltwater fishing experts swear by the positive hooking ability of circle hooks for billfish and tarpon and many fly tiers and fly fishers are experimenting by tying flies on this style hook. This is a recent development and it may turn into more of a trend in the early part of the 21st century.

Overview: This versatile hook is great for nymphs, larvae, scuds, shrimp, or bead-head flies. The heavier than standard wire gives flies more weight

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.
