Description
Perdigon’s to Frenchies, Blowtorches to Jigged Buggers, regardless of what jig style fly you’re tying, Hanak’s Competition 470BL Jig Wave Hooks has what it takes. The 470BL Hooks are a very high-quality jig hook and they feature a medium wire, extra long needle point with Hanak’s Wave Point technology–an extra long point that’s bent outwards to increase hooking and holding success–and a clean black nickel finish. Made in sizes 8 through 16, the 470BL is a solid hook whether you need to tie baitfish patterns to drum up the predators or small nymphs that get deep without hanging up.
Uses
The Competition 470BL Jig Wave Hooks are a jig-style hook that works very well with beads, and you can use this hook to tie Euro nymphs, larvae patterns, and even some small streamers. Regardless of what you’re tying, this hook will work to prevent snags thanks to its point riding up.
Comparisons
Gamakatsu makes a similar model hook with their J20B Barbless Jig Nymph Hook. This high-quality hook is also a great choice for tying your jig-style nymphs and Euro pattern, and it features a barbless construction, ultra-sharp point, and a black nickel finish. Both of these hooks are very sharp and strong and you can rely on either of them to handle your tying needs.
