Umpqua U-Series U504 Fly Tying Hooks Size 8 - 50 Pack

Elevate your fly tying with Umpqua U-Series U504 hooks

For serious tiers who value consistency, the U504 from Umpqua’s U-Series blends strength, sharpness, and a thoughtful design into one dependable hook. Forged from high-grade carbon steel, the hook features a chemically sharpened point that aims for clean penetration with each tie, plus micro barbs that help hold your material in place as you wrap. A bronze finish delivers a smooth, natural look when presented to trout in clear water. The design also accounts for easy de-barbing so you can prep several hooks quickly before you head to the water.
