TIEMCO TMC 3761 Fly Tying Hooks – 25 Pack, Size 14N, 1X Long, 2X Heavy, Bronze

Overview

Meet the TIEMCO TMC 3761 fly tying hooks, a tuned extension of the familiar TMC 3769 design. This variant adds 1X long length to accommodate more extended nymph patterns, while maintaining a reliable 2X heavy profile and a down-eye, sproat-bend geometry. Available in a broad size range from #2 to #20, these hooks come in a bronze finish that pairs well with a wide array of tying materials. If you tie wet flies or nymphs, the 3761 offers a thoughtful balance between body length, strength, and presentation that many anglers appreciate on rivers and streams.

Why this hook design stands out

• Wet Fly & Nymph, Down Eye
• 1X Long for extended patterns
• 2X Heavy for added rigidity and durability
• Sproat bend for dependable shank geometry
• Bronze finish with a classic look and durable surface

The 3761 shares the core design language of the TMC 3769 but is purpose-built to help you craft longer nymph bodies without crowding the hook eye. The additional length can improve the taper and body build of your patterns, while the 2X heavy frame provides stiffness during thread wraps and body tying. The down-eye helps with presenting the pattern in a natural drift, and the sproat bend offers a strong hold for patterns that demand a secure hookset. The bronze finish not only looks traditional but can hold up well under frequent tying sessions.

Size range and pack details

This hook family covers sizes from #2 to #20, giving you flexibility across common river patterns. Each 25-pack provides enough hooks for regular tying sessions or stocking a few rigs for different water conditions. The 14 (N) size is a commonly used option for many nymph designs, offering a balance between shank length and gape that suits a variety of bodies and wings.

Real-world use cases

On fast-flowing water, the 1X long frame helps you shape elongated bodies without crowding the eye, while the down-eye helps the pattern present with a natural drift. For mide river runs or riffles, the 2X heavy profile keeps the overall form steady as you wrap thread and build up body material. Across studio tying and on-water setups alike, these hooks provide dependable hold and consistent geometry, enabling you to focus on pattern refinement and presentation.

Practical benefits for your tying kit

• Wide size range supports many nymph and wet fly patterns
• 1X long length enables extended bodies and tapered tails
• Down-eye with a sturdy sproat bend optimizes presentation and retention
• Bronze finish offers a classic look and durable surface

Whether you’re stocking up the bench or pairing with specific bodies and wings, the TIEMCO TMC 3761 hooks provide a reliable option that aligns with a thoughtful, craft-focused tying approach.
