The distinctive "Dolphin Shank" shape of the 40-degree bent shank on the TMC708 allows anglers to tie a variety of uniquely balanced or keel style streamers and nymphs. Variable gape and shank size are designed into the TMC708 to ensure better hooking no matter what size you prefer. Rounded out with a slightly upturned point to reduce snags, this hook is a good fit for many different streamers or large nymph patterns, but it can also be used for some unique dry flies or terrestrials. Sold in packs of 25 or 100 hooks.
