Daiichi 1650 Heavy Wire Tube Fly Hooks

Whether you’re swinging up salmon on a Great Lakes tributary, stripping tube flies for smallmouth, or tying some ultra-strong eggs for large steelhead, Daiichi’s 1650 Heavy Wire Tube Fly Hooks are a solid option for it all. A hook that’s been loved by tube fly tiers for years, the 1650 features a 2x-heavy wire, 2x-short shank, sharp point, round bend, straight eye, and forged construction. All of these features combine to give you a super strong hook that’s ready to swing, strip, or drift flies into heavy fish. 

Uses

The 1650 Heavy Wire Tube Fly Hooks was designed by Daiichi as a rear hook used when fishing tube flies. However, its uses don’t end there as this hook is a great choice when tying eggs, articulated streamers, Intruders, or even small baitfish patterns that require a short shank and stout hook. 

Comparisons 

Another great option when you need a heavy hook with a short shank is Tiemco’s TMC 784 Tube Fly and Stinger Hook. Like the 1650, the TMC 784 features a heavy wire with a short shank and straight eye, making it an equally perfect choice for tying tube flies. One difference between these two hooks is that Tiemco makes theirs in sizes 2/0 through 8 instead of 4 through 10, so depending on the size of your flies, one may provide a more suitable size, but regardless of which hook you select, both of these are very reliable options.
