"Great for small scud patterns strong hooks"
Whether you're fishing a tailwater packed with scuds and trophy fish or you just need a hook with a bit more weight to get your flies down, Daiichi's 1120 Heavy Wire Scud Hook is a great choice for it all. Daiichi makes their 1120 Hooks with a 2x heavy wire to aid in fighting heavy fish in tough currents while also adding some weight to get your flies down deep. Crafted with a curved shank, the 1120 Hook is an excellent choice for imitating things like scuds, sowbugs, and caddis pupae, and with sizes ranging from a 6 all the way down to a 22, you can match just about any insect in the system.
Uses
Built with a curved shank and heavy wire, Daiichi's 1120 Heavy Wire Scud Hooks are a hook that you can turn to any time you're looking to tie subsurface patterns with a curved look. This hook was designed for imitating crustaceans like scuds and sowbugs, but its versatile build and range of sizes allow you to tie anything from caddis larvae/pupae, midges, cranefly larvae, and even some worm and egg patterns.
Comparisons
Gamakatsu's C12 Scud Hook is another fine option whenever you're looking for a hook with a curved shank. Like the Daiichi 1120 Hook, the C12 features a heavy wire for added weight and strong holding power, and one of the main differences between the two is the sizing options available. Daiichi makes their scud hook in sizes 6 through 22 and Gamakatsu's C12 is available in a 10 through 16, so if you want a wider range of sizes, the 1120 is a better choice.

"Great choice for tying steelhead egg fly patterns for Salmon River NY. Strong, sharp and well made."
"One of my favorite hooks for its incredible strength. Have never had one bend out. Not as pretty as black barbless hooks, but performance is a lot better."
"I have been using these hooks for trout, steelhead and salmon fly patterns for years. I have never had one fail, they are very sharp and are reasonably priced. They are my personal favorite nymph hook because of their shape and heavy wire, I would highly recommend them."
