Akita AK 501 Fly Hooks (25)

Akita AK 501 (25) is a barbed fly hook for tying dry flies. Its traditional construction suits classic patterns where light proportions and enough room for floating materials are important.

Design and use

This model has a straight standard shank, fine wire and a wide downturned eye. The geometry leaves useful tying space for the body, wings and hackle, while the broad bend suits a range of conventional dry-fly patterns. The bronze finish works naturally with designs in which part of the hook remains visible. The barb should be taken into account when selecting the pattern and arranging materials.
