Also known as the heavy iron salmon hook, this style is the traditional salmon hook preferred by most tyers and salmon fishers. The proportions and features have been perfected over the last two hundred years, and they are successful in most salmon fishing situations.
The hooks are made of the finest high-carbon steel, which is hardened and tempered to an exacting formula that makes for a long point life and a very strong hook. Daiichi hooks use a 12-degree constant taper ground needle point. This eliminates irregularities in shape, assuring no weak spots, and gives amazing speed of penetration.
