Core C1120 Curved Nymph & Scud Hooks

Drifting sowbugs on a limestone stream or casting Czech nymphs into every pocket that you come across, no matter what you’re doing, Core has just the right hook with their C1120 Curved Nymph and Scud Hooks. These hooks feature a curved shank, which makes them perfect for imitating insects that have a natural curve–think things like scuds, sowbugs, caddis larvae, and more. Core made their C1120 Curved Nymph and Scud Hooks out of a heavy-wire bronze and gave them a small barb, which provides excellent hooking and holding power. A versatile hook that’s available in sizes 6 through 24, you can turn to these hooks whether you’re tying midges or big cranefly larvae.

Uses

Core’s C1120 Curved Nymph and Scud Hooks are pretty versatile and can be used for a variety of nymph and larva patterns. However, they’re also a good choice when tying emergers or soft hackles that you want to ride a little deeper in the water.

Comparisons

A hook with a similar construction is Ahrex’s FW540 Curved Nymph Hooks. These hooks also feature a curved shank that’s great for tying nymphs, larvae, Czech style nymphs, and other patterns. Two differences between these two hooks are that Ahrex’s FW540 hooks have a black nickel finish and come in sizes 6 through 16, whereas the Core C1120 Curved Nymph and Scud Hooks are made from bronze and are available in sizes 6 through 24.
