Daiichi 2720 Wide Gape Stinger Hook

By A Mystery Man Writer

The Daiichi 2720 hook was uniquely designed by a bass fisherman who wanted a better hook to use on his poppers. The wide-gape bend is effective at holding bass once they are hooked because the spear of the hook angles back towards the eye. This bend shape allows you to attach a small loop of stiff nylon monofilament at the bottom of the bend and just behind the eye to form an effective weed guard. This 2720 hook is the hook of choice for bass and panfish poppers and deerhair bass flies.

Daiichi Wide-Gap Scud Hook - 1130 Tiemco introduced continuous bend hooks into the American fly tying market in the 1980's. This particular style is similar to the TMC 2487, which quickly became popularly known as a Scud Hook because of its shape, which is similar to the curve of freshwater shrimp (scud). Flies tied on hooks with bent shanks or continuous bends have a more natural shape or look more lifelike according to many fishers. Daiichi Fly hooks are the finest in the world.
