Akita AK 831BL (25)

Akita AK 831BL is a barbless hook for dry and wet flies. It can also be used for larger streamer-like patterns when a traditional straight shape and a controlled amount of tying material are required.

Design and use

The hook has a straight, standard-length shank and an eye angled slightly down. Its black finish keeps the metal visually discreet in the finished fly. The barbless form calls for careful thread and material placement and also supports straightforward fish handling. The standard shank length suits the proportions of dry and wet flies, while larger sizes provide room for a body, wing or soft-hackle materials.
