Umpqua X-Series XT050 BN5X Stubby T Fly Hook – 12 & 25 Pack

Umpqua X-Series XT050 BN5X Stubby T Fly Hook

Designed for small, buoyant patterns, the XT050 BN5X Stubby T Fly hook lets you tie foam terrestrials and bushy dries with a compact profile without sacrificing essential hooking power. The result is a dry fly presentation that sits comfortably on the surface, responds quickly to rising fish, and stays reliable through the bite. The combination of a down eye, a robust yet precise geometry, and a finish that resists wear makes this hook a thoughtful addition to a river-ready kit.

Key features that matter on the water

• Down eye design for tidy knots and smooth turnover, helping your fly sit where intended.
• 1/2X heavy wire provides a balanced feel—strong enough for buoyant patterns without adding unnecessary bulk.
• Wide gap to accommodate buoyant, bushy patterns while preserving hook integrity.
• Forged bend for durability through multiple casts, bites, and settings.
• Micro-barb minimizes snagging while still delivering reliable penetration when a fish bites.
• V-Lock bend enhances hold on the pattern through the take and lift, keeping your fly aligned.

Practical uses on the water

• Ideal for tying foam patterns and bushy dries in a reduced profile without compromising gap accessibility.
• Effective when you need a precise sit and quick lift, especially under calm to lightly rippled water.
