Partridge SLJ Wide Gape Jig Fly Hooks

Partridge SLJ Wide Gape Jig is a barbless hook for competition-style nymphs, particularly jig patterns tied with a weighted bead. The short shank supports a compact body, while the wide gape leaves room for the point when the nymph has a fuller dressing.

Design and use

The beaked Surehold point is the defining feature of the hook. When tying, position the bead and thorax so they do not close the wide gape, and keep the tail and body length controlled. The shape suits compact jig nymphs, competition patterns and other dressings where a broad gape accommodates a larger amount of material.
