Umpqua TMC 413J Fly Tying Hook — 12-25 Pack

Overview

The Umpqua TMC 413J fly tying hook brings a versatile bronze jig design to your tying bench. Sized for small to mid-size patterns, it blends a balanced medium-wire shank with a precise micro barb, offering reliable penetration while staying friendly to keepers and releases when barbless options are used.

Key design features

• Variable Jig Hook geometry: 60 degrees on larger sizes tapering to 45 degrees on smaller sizes
• Medium-wire construction for a balanced bend and dependable strength
• Micro barb for clean hooksets with reduced tissue damage in the bind
• Barbless option for easier release and catch-and-release scenarios
• Bronze finish offers corrosion resistance and a low-reflection appearance

Sizes and geometry

The hook covers sizes #8 through #18, with the angle reducing from 60° on #8 to 45° on #18. This geometry helps maintain gape in small flies while preserving a reliable hook point, enabling consistent pattern tying across a range of densities and bodies.

Practical use and potential benefits

In real-world tying and fishing, the jig geometry can aid hook alignment and presentation across patterns, from delicate mayfly imitations to compact nymphs. The micro barb provides a tidy penetration profile, while the bronze finish adds durability and a subdued look under varying light conditions. The barbless option supports easy release where regulations or personal preference favor gentler handling, without sacrificing the hook’s integrity in the bite.
