The Ahrex NS118 Classic Streamer is a classic streamer hook with a 4X shank length, ideal for fly-tying enthusiasts. This hook is a favorite among fly fishermen, especially for those new to tying, but it also continues to appeal to experienced fly tyers thanks to its versatility and reliability. Its long shank is particularly effective for creating elongated, slender flies, often used in saltwater. The black nickel finish not only ensures increased resistance to corrosion, essential in marine environments, but also discretion underwater so as not to spook fish. Available in sizes from 4 to 12, this sturdy, aesthetically pleasing hook features a chemically sharpened point with a small barb, guaranteeing excellent penetration and a firm hold on the fish. With 18 hooks per pack, the Ahrex NS118 Classic Streamer is a top choice for those seeking a high-quality hook for their streamer rigs.
