The Mustad Heritage C53S is a curved hook with a York-style bend, extremely robust and ideal for a variety of rigs, including dry flies, terrestrial insects and curved nymphs. Featuring a 3X long shank and a straight eye, this model includes a micro barb and an ultra-sharp AlphaPoint® point, guaranteeing fast, effective penetration. This hook is particularly popular for reverse-rigged dry flies, stimulators and all curved nymph patterns. The TitanX finish in metallic matt grey reduces reflected glare and enhances underwater stealth, making the C53S a preferred choice for fly fishers seeking performance and stealth. Forged and Nor-Tempered for added strength, each pack contains 25 hooks, making the C53S an excellent investment for serious fly tyers.
