Overview

The Umpqua edition of the Tiemco TMC 2488 introduces a compact, micro-friendly hook designed for small-pattern fishing. In size 18 and sold as a 25-pack, this hook blends a curved short shank with a straight-eye, delivering a slightly wider gape on the smallest sizes. This design supports delicate presentations for both dry flies and nymph ties, while keeping the overall profile light and responsive.

Unlike a straightforward reissue of the 2487, the 2488 family adds true micro sizes, expanding the repertoire you can tie and fish. Constructed with fine bronze wire, the hook achieves a balanced combination of sensitivity and strength for small-hook work, letting you feel and react as water moves your fly into position.

Key design traits

  • Dry Fly & Nymph capability for versatile water conditions
  • Straight eye geometry that helps maintain an open gape on small hooks
  • 3X wide gape for reliable hook engagement
  • 2X short curved shank to balance proportion on tiny patterns
  • Fine bronze wire for a delicate, responsive profile

Micro sizes and real-world use

Micro sizes broaden your pattern options for mayflies, caddis, and baetis imitators, while the straight-eye/short shank combo supports precise presentations on light tippets. The 25-hook pack provides ample quantity to build several rigs for on-water testing, experimentation, or seasonal experimentation with different micro-patterns.

Note on the 2488H variant: it uses heavier wire and is not intended for Dry Flies. It may suit tougher stream conditions or larger nymphs where a sturdier hook body is beneficial. Choose the standard 2488 for delicate dry fly and light-nymph applications.
