The HDN 302 accommodates nymphs whose tail, abdomen, and thorax remain aligned. On a wet fly, reserve the front portion of the shank for the flexible collar and the head. If you’re adding a bead, check that it fits along the curve before you begin: its diameter must also leave enough room for the body. The straight shank and downward-pointing eye distinguish this model from the HDN 302 SP, which has a transverse eye. Made of high-carbon steel with a Black Nickel finish, the HDN 302 is chemically sharpened, barbless, and packaged in packs of 25.
