The Hends BL564 emphasizes the strength of the wire for tying gammarus, Czech nymphs, chironomids, and pupae. Hends describes it as the strongest model in this series of curved hooks.
The curved, claw-like point curves back toward the shank’s axis. Barbless and finished in Black Nickel, the BL564 is available in packs of 25 in sizes #8, #10, #12, #14, #16, and #18. The body and back of the nymph must allow sufficient clearance around this inward-curving point.
