Firehole Sticks 516-Nymph, Heavy Jig

The 516 is a heavy jig style hook with a 60 degree bend at the eye. I often omit a bead and tie emerger patterns on this hook.

This is a standard length hook with a 1X gape. It has a 60 degree down eye and is formed from a heavy weight wire. Available in sizes #4 to #24.

A purpose-built jig hook designed for modern nymphs and tactical subsurface patterns. Clean shape, stupid-sharp point, and balanced geometry for tungsten-heavy flies.

Why This Model Works

• 60° jig bend for point-up performance
