Comparisons

The BC3 Barbless Curved Nymph Caddis Czech Hooks from Kona are a well-designed hook that does a great job at their intended purpose, and while these are a popular option, there are some other comparable hooks on the market. A similar choice is Tiemco’s TMC 2487BL Barbless Shrimp and Caddis Pupae Hook--these hooks are also barbless and feature a curved shank, but a couple of the differences are that the hook eye is not straight and they’re crafted from bronze. While both of these hooks are great when you want a curved platform, if you need something a little more subdued in the water, the black-nickel finish on Kona’s BC3 Barbless Curved Nymph Caddis Czech Hooks is a little better choice.
