The Ahrex FW504 Short Shank Dry Barbed hook is specially designed for fly fishermen who want to create dry flies with a little more "volume". Thanks to its wide gauge and short barb, this hook is ideal for voluminous set-ups that require a buoyant, attractive presentation. Available in a variety of sizes, from 8 to 18, it offers great versatility to suit a wide range of dry flies. The black nickel finish not only gives it an elegant appearance, but also ensures increased resistance to corrosion, prolonging the hook's life. The chemically sharpened point with a small barb ensures rapid penetration and secure holding of the fish. With 24 hooks per pack, anglers can easily stock this essential item to be ready at all times for their fishing trips.
