Partridge Caddis Pupa Hook Size 16 – K2BY, Up-Eye, Black Nickel | Fly Tying Hook

The Partridge Caddis Pupa Hook in size 16 combines a curved up-eye with a medium wire gauge to help you shape and present emerger patterns with confidence. Finished in a discreet black nickel, this hook balances durability with a subtle profile for varied fishing situations.

Design that supports realistic patterns

The hook’s curved up-eye design aids turnover and natural alignment of the tying thread, while the up-eye feature simplifies eye placement during tying. The medium wire provides enough strength for active patterns without adding excessive bulk, making it a reliable choice for delicate shrimp, caddis, and pupa imitations.

The black nickel finish not only reduces glare in bright light but also stands up to repeated handling during tying sessions, helping you maintain a clean, professional-looking pattern over time.
