When fishing stillwater, every advantage you can have to get your fly in the strike zone makes a difference, and with their Competition 200BL Stillwater/Wet Hooks, Hanak gives a strong and heavy wire hook that sinks quickly and can stand up to the heavyweights. The Competition 200BL Stillwater/Wet Hooks are a high-quality hook with an extra-long needle point, chemically sharpened hi carbon construction, with a stealthy black nickel finish. These hooks were designed for fishing stillwater situations that require a little extra weight and reliable strength to pull big fish to the surface. Crafted in sizes 8 through 16, you can utilize the Competition 200BL Stillwater/Wet Hooks whether you’re tying up a chunky leech or some smaller nymphs and chironomids.
Uses
Although the Competition 200BL Stillwater/Wet Hooks was designed by Hanak for fishing stillwater environments, it’s also a heavy wire hook that you can use for tying nymphs, small streamers, and wet flies that you want to sink quickly in rivers and other moving systems.
Comparisons
Tiemco’s TMC 113BLH Nymph Hooks are a suitable alternative to Hanak’s Competition 200BL Stillwater/Wet Hooks. This hook is also made with a heavy wire, barbless construction, black nickel finish, and it has a pretty similar bend. Although these two hooks are quite similar to one another, one difference is that Tiemco’s TMC 113BLH Hooks are made in sizes 8 through 20, so if you’re looking to tie some smaller flies, this hook gives you an advantage that the Competition 200BL Hook can’t provide.
