Akita AK 709 BL Fly Hooks (25)

Akita AK 709 BL is a barbless fly hook with heavy, reinforced wire, intended especially for heavier point nymphs and gammarus patterns. The strongly curved shank creates a broad, full profile for rounded bodies. Its down-turned eye helps route materials through a compact dressing while leaving room for the thorax.

Design and use

The heavy wire contributes useful mass where the hook weight is part of the planned presentation. Choose this series for gammarus and other robust subsurface nymphs when a barbless format is required. Match the body length to the curved shank and keep the hook gap open as materials are added.
