Why this hook stands out
The extra-wide gape accommodates larger beads and heavier tippets without crowding the eye, helping you maintain a streamlined profile in variable currents. The barbless design simplifies catch-and-release handling and reduces fish stress, while the stealthy black nickel finish keeps your rig discreet in clear water.
Created as part of Umpqua's XC competition hook collection, these hooks balance value with purposeful geometry. The 25-count packs offer consistent supply for tyers and anglers who experiment with presentations across a season.
Practical uses and setups
- Dry flies with extended bodies benefit from the short, straight shank and wide gape.
- Emergers and emergent patterns sit securely on the hook while staying easy to strip from the mouth.
- Bead treatments: the extra-wide gape allows for larger beads when needed without compromising hook alignment.
- General nymphs in subdued water conditions can be presented with a tidy silhouette.
Value, quality, and care
With a focus on stealth, durability, and value, the XC220 BL-BN hooks provide a controlled, confident tie for a range of patterns. The black nickel finish helps reduce glare, while the barbless design supports quick, ethical releases. Sold in 25‑hook packs, they fit neatly into a tyer’s toolkit and travel kit alike.
