Akita AK 708 Fly Hooks (25)

Akita AK 708 is a barbed fly hook designed for nymphs, especially gammarus, and also for caddis patterns and pupae. Its strongly curved shank and wide gape provide room for full, rounded bodies. Heavy wire adds weight to the dressing and creates a suitable base for nymphs intended to fish below the surface.

Design and use

The wide, down-turned eye leaves useful room for a substantial body and thorax. The curved profile suits gammarus and pupae where the fly should remain short and full. The non-forged construction and bronze finish pair naturally with subdued materials and compact subsurface dressings.
