This straight-eye nymph and dry fly hook incorporates a gradually sloping bend (Organic Bend) to better imitate curved insect bodies. Because the TMC200R is 3X-long with a sloping bend, the hook point has been semi-dropped for better hook penetration and holding. Offered in a large range of sizes, this hook is great for stonefly imitations, hoppers, stimulators, and general nymphs.
