The Hends BL144 is suitable for compact-bodied jig nymphs. Its shank is shorter than that of the BL134; a wide bend and a curved point complete this design. The hook is barbless and features a Black Nickel finish.
It can accommodate a tungsten bead or a Heavy Body weight. On this short shank, the space occupied by the weight counts toward the remaining body length. The BL144 is available in sizes #8, #10, #12, #14, #16, #18, #20, and #22, in packs of 20 hooks.
