Akita AK 721 Fly Hooks (25)

Akita AK 721 is a barbed fly hook designed primarily for wet flies and also for nymphs. Its straight, long shank helps maintain the proportions of patterns with extended bodies and wings. The heavy wire adds weight to the hook, which can help the fly sink deeper without substantially increasing the amount of weight on the body.

Construction and use

The Sproat bend and down-turned eye provide a classic basis for wet flies with a defined wing profile. The long shank helps position the tail, segmentation and nymph thorax. Its non-forged construction suits moderately compact dressings, while the bronze finish complements traditional fly-tying materials.
