Knapek L Fly Hooks

Knapek L is a barbless fly hook specified with a straight shank and a downturned eye. Its black nickel finish gives the hook a subdued appearance. This arrangement suits patterns where an even tying base and a lower eye position are useful when forming the head and front section of the fly.

Design and use

The straight shank provides a regular foundation for the dressing and helps maintain consistent body proportions. The downturned eye affects the thread path and the position of materials at the head, so leave clear space in front of the finished body. Its barbless construction suits flies used when fish are unhooked without a barb.
