General scud style hook. This is a standard length hook with a 1X gape. It has a down eye and is formed from a medium weight wire. Great to use for general scud and pupa patterns. The wide gap allows room for a mid-body bead to be added to scud patterns. As with all Firehole Sticks, this hook is made from high strength carbon steel, which is properly hardened and tempered. The hook is chemically sharpened and finished with a black nickel coating.
