Quality you'd expect from Daiichi
"Love these for midges and emergers. Far better than the crap I bought at another popular place."
Description
When the fish have amphipods on the menu and you need a reliable hook to whip up some imitations, look no further than Daiichi's 1130 Wide Gape Scud Hooks. Built with a wide gap, these hooks have excellent hooking power, and with a continuous bend along the shank, you can use them to imitate a wide range of nymphs, larvae, and pupae. Daiichi makes the 1130 Wide Gape Scud Hooks in sizes 10 through 24, making it easy to imitate just about any insect in the system you're fishing all year long.
Uses
A versatile curved-shank hook, the 1130 Wide Gape Scud Hooks can be used to imitate a wide range of forage. From scuds and sowbugs to caddis, midges, craneflies, worms, and eggs, this hook does it all exceptionally well. Thanks to its fine wire build, you can also use this hook when tying emergers that sit just in the surface film.
Comparisons
Tiemco's TMC 2487 Shrimp and Caddis Pupae Hook is another great choice when looking for a curved shank hook with a wide gap and fine wire construction. Like Daiichi's 1130, Tiemco's TMC 2487 is also made in sizes 10 through 24, allowing you to tie a very similar variety of patterns and imitations.

Daiichi 1130 Wide Gape Scud hooks have become my go to!
"The Daiichi 1130 Wide Gape Scud hooks have become my go to scud hook. The light wire hook is strong and has great penetration. The gape is great, and love to use these for all of my scud and emerger applications. Some other well-known Japanese hooks are starting to get so expensive, but Daiichi remains the best high-quality hook that is still affordable."
