Comparisons
The FW560 Traditional Nymph Hook made by Ahrex is a solid alternative to Daiichi's 1550 Standard Wet Fly Hooks. The FW560 features a classic sproat bend and profile that's nearly identical to Daiichi's 1550 Hook, allowing you to use these two for nearly the same flies. However, there are two differences between these hooks, with the first being that Daiichi's 1550 has a bronze finish and Ahrex's FW560 has a black nickel finish. Also, Ahrex makes their hook in sizes 8 through 18, whereas Daiichi makes their in sizes 2 through 18, so depending on what you're tying, one may have a more applicable size.
