Umpqua XC400BL-BN 16

Umpqua’s “Super Jig” hook, the XC400BL-BN features a 60-degree vertical eye bend combined with a carefully curated wide gap to optimize hooking ability. Designed for tyers seeking the perfect hook for a wide variety of jig-style tactical nymphs, the XC400BL-BN pairs well with standard tungsten slotted beads, but it also works well with Umpqua’s Jig Bomb beads when you want to maximize the available shank length of your hook.

Umpqua X Series Hooks XC400BL-BN Super Jig-60

Jigs are great for heavy bead head nymphs. The shape of the hook allows a slotted bead to ride above the shank with out blocking the gap like a traditional beaded hook. They also tend to ride point up, reducing hookups with bottom. Medium wire, extra long needle point, extra wide gape, black nickel finish. Hanak hooks are made from hi-carbon steel, with extra long needle points and chemically sharpened. The quality of their wire and hardening process make for a top notch hook.
