Umpqua TMC 413J Fly Tying Hook – Bronze, Barbless Jig Hook, Medium Wire (#8-18) 100 Pack

Overview

Explore the Umpqua TMC 413J fly tying hook, a versatile bronze jig hook designed for a broad range of fly patterns. Its geometry shifts with size: larger #8 hooks begin at a 60-degree jig angle and taper to 45 degrees by #18, helping maintain optimal gape as you tie smaller flies. Built with a medium wire and a micro barb, this barbless hook focuses on clean handling and reliable presentation in the vise and on the stream.

Key features

• Variable Jig Hook (60-45 degrees)
• Medium Wire
• Micro Barb
• Barbless
• Bronze finish

Size range and versatility

Sized from #8 through #18, the hook’s angle adapts across sizes to support a wide array of patterns. The reduced angle on smaller hooks helps preserve the intended gape, aiding precise hook presentation when tying delicate, tiny flies.

• Suitable for mid-size to small patterns with strong hold
• Improved gape for tiny mayflies and midges when tied on the smaller end
• Bronze finish minimizes glare in water, aiding visibility and alignment

Practical tying and fishing scenarios

Ideal for freshwater patterns such as mayflies, midges, and emergers, with potential use in light saltwater applications where a barbless design supports easy handling and quick unhooking. The micro barb pairs with a secure hold when the fly is driven into the strike zone.

Care, storage, and handling tips

Keep hooks dry and organized in a suitable box to preserve the bronze finish and point sharpness. When handling and unhooking, a careful approach helps maintain hook integrity and reduces damage to tippet and flies during use.
