Montana Fly Company Scud Hook 7045 - Size 16-25 Pack | High Carbon Steel

Overview

The Montana Fly Company Scud Hook 7045 is crafted for classic scud patterns and delicate freshwater presentations. Made from high carbon steel wire, it balances strength with a streamlined silhouette that maintains a steady feel as you fish through varying currents.

One standout feature is the chemically sharpened needle point, designed to deliver clean, confident hooksets with less resistance.
