FishUSA Dai-Riki 135 Scud Hook – Down Eye, 1x Strong Wire, Short Shank, Sproat Bend (25 Pack)

Overview

FishUSA brings back the Dai-Riki 135 Scud Hook, a trusted choice for fly tiers aiming to reproduce the lifelike form and motion of scuds. This hook blends reliable geometry with proven materials, delivering a practical, affordable option for today’s fly tying enthusiasts. Designed with real angling use in mind, it supports patterns that swim and sit naturally in the water, offering a compelling balance of performance and value.

Design that helps your pattern sit naturally

The down eye helps the thread wrap align neatly, contributing to a clean silhouette when the fly rides in the current. A forged shank provides strength without adding unnecessary bulk, while the 1x strong wire handles a wide range of thread and body materials. The combination supports a compact, streamlined profile essential for scud imitators.

Durability and finish you can count on

The nickel bronze finish resists corrosion in varied waters, helping your patterns stay true over long sessions. A ringed eye secures thread wraps, helping preserve the shape of your fly as it’s cast, tied, and fished through light to moderate currents.
