Tiemco TMC 8089 Hook Size 06 (25 Pack) – Bass Bug Fly Tying | Umpqua

Overview

The Tiemco TMC 8089 hook in size 06 comes in a convenient 25‑pack, designed to support bass bug patterns from the first whip finish to the final knot. Its clean lineage and practical geometry aim to make tying easier, so you can focus on building reliable, buoyant bass flies for freshwater ponds, lakes, and rivers.

Design that boosts tying performance

This hook pairs a straight eye with a wide gape, creating a stable tie-in area that accommodates deer hair and other bulky materials without crowding. The fine wire helps reduce bulk in the finished pattern, contributing to a buoyant, “floating like a cork” feel on the water. Built to be forged and bronze, it balances strength with a streamlined profile that can stand up to energetic bass strikes.

Key features at a glance

• Bass bug–specific design: straight eye, wide gape for bulky materials
• Fine wire to support buoyancy and natural silhouette
• Forged bronze construction for durable performance
• Nickel option available: TMC 8089NP for added corrosion resistance

Practical applications and tying tips

Ideal for deer hair bugs and other bulky patterns, this hook helps you maintain a crisp, steady shape in the water. The geometry invites materials to sit cleanly, supporting a realistic profile that can respond to light currents and still maintain buoyancy in calmer water.

• Tie robust deer hair bass bugs that sit higher in the water column
• Combine with marabou, foam, or other buoyant components for varied action
• Use the straight eye for efficient thread wraps and secure knots

Availability and variants

The 25‑pack is ready for steady tying sessions. If you need a nickel‑plated option for corrosion resistance and a slightly different finish, ask for TMC 8089NP—the same core geometry and strength, just with a nickel plate.
