Daiichi 1770 Swimming Nymph Hook

In the mid 1980’s, Daiichi introduced this “swimming nymph” hook to form the foundation for swimming mayfly nymph artificials, and for flies imitating leeches or worms. The gentle “s” curve helps give a life like appearance to these creations. Daiichi Fly hooks are the finest in the world. Here's why: They are made of the finest high carbon steel, which is hardened and tempered to an exacting formula that makes for a long point life and a very strong hook.

The Daiichi 1222 hook is the ultimate dry fly hook. Inspired by Darrel Martin's theory of the best dry fly hook, this hook features what modern tiers look for; wide gape, mini-barb, with an upturned tapered shank which presents mayfly wings in a very natural angled position. The 1222 hook features Daiichi’s Crystal Finish which is a white, silvery plate. A fish looking up at a fly with a “Crystal Finish” hook will find that hook almost invisible, especially with the sky in the background.
