Akita AK 711 (25)

Akita AK 711 is a barbed fly hook for nymphs and larger terrestrial patterns. Its long, curved shank provides room for Mayfly, cased caddis and stonefly bodies. Heavy wire adds mass to the fly, making the series suitable for deeper presentations and dressings that call for a stronger hook platform.

Design and use

The wide, down-turned eye helps maintain the proportions of a long body and gives room to finish the head. The forged curved shank suits elongated profiles while leaving space for segmentation and stonefly wing cases. Match the length of the body and trailing materials to the extended shank.
